The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
2) Be kind, be nice. Say a prayer or three for our Morons to survive the winter weather blasting the country.
3) If you must run with sharp objects. Take it outside.
4) Have a great weekend!
The following is from our dear friend & 'Ette, Bluebell.
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 11/15 – Sponge posted an update on the “First lady”. She is doing OK from the surgery pain-wise, however it appears her compromised immune system from chemo is susceptible to viruses. She has been spiking a fever all weekend.
12/13 Update – The First lady is doing well. She is still on restrictions but things are progressing nicely. The last mammogram showed clean. They are grateful to all who have been praying for her.
1/7 Update – They send thanks for the thoughts and prayers over the past year. The latest visit with her urologist revealed blood in her urine. The Doc didn’t seem concerned, but there will be more scans of her bladder and kidneys to see if they find anything more serious.
1/14 Update – Sponge sent an update on the First Lady’s father – he passed away on 1/11. They have been busy making arrangements for the arrangements, writing the obituary, eulogy, notifying people, etc. Thank you all for the thoughts an prayers that you have been providing for a long time. 12/20 – Morgan, longtime lurker, takes tango lessons from Sebastian, whose son, Matias, is recovering from brain surgery. The MRI was read on 12/19, and the surgeons did not remove the entire tumor. Even though the biopsy indicated the tumor was benign, the boy is probably facing several rounds of chemo. Please pray for the boy’s continued recovery in El Salvador.
1/10 Update – Matias will have surgery in 2 weeks to try and remove the rest of the tumor, and then he will receive radiation therapy. 12/27 – buzzion asked for prayers for a friend named Christina. Christina has struggled with a lot, including addiction and relapse. Buzzion has not heard from Christina in a while and hopes she is okay. Please pray that Christina finds her way and knows that people love and care for her and believe in her.
1/3 Update – Christina was arrested on 1/3. Please pray for this to be a final wake-up call for her. 12/27 – JB asked for prayers that he would gain peace about what God has planned for his job in 2026. Also, please pray for JB’s estranged son, that he and his household will be saved. 12/27 – San Franpsycho posted a praise report from a former colleague, who has defeated metastasized uterine cancer. 12/27 – BlackOrchid requested prayers for a Navy Veteran uncle who has been struggling with his health the last few weeks. The root cause is undetermined, but recurrent infection/sepsis keeps sending him back to the hospital. It seems to be worsening his dementia, which makes it harder for BlackOrchid’s aunt to handle him.
1/3 Update – BlackOrchid’s uncle (her “stand-in dad”is still not doing well. He will probably need to be put in a LTC facility although they are doing everything possible to avoid this. He is 86, and at the stage where his immune system can’t fight back well. 12/27 – pookysgirl posted that their unborn baby girl, Violet Marie, had passed away. 12/27 – free tibet posted about his diagnosis with Giant Cell Arteritis and subsequent vision loss in the right eye. This is a recurrence of the same from 5 years ago in the left eye. The treatment is not painful but regaining vision is “very iffy”. Thank you all for the prayers. 1/1 – L asked for prayers for her brother Ron, who is hospitalized. Ron has been in and out of the hospital for 6 months. He has a nasty infection in his knee, that will not clear, despite 5 rounds of antibiotics. L and her sister have been run ragged trying to help Ron. 1/3 – Legally Sufficient asked for prayers for the repose of the soul of a boss, who passed away suddenly early Sunday morning. Prayers are appreciated for strength, faith, and understanding for the boss’ wife and all who loved him. 1/6 – Diogenes requested prayers for his best friend since college, who was diagnosed with cancer. Within hours or hearing this, the friend’s son, a man that Diogenes has known since he was a baby, collapsed from what appears to be a brain tumor. The prognosis isn’t hopeful. Please pray for both of these fine men. 1/6 – Commissar of plenty and festive little hats sent prayers of thanks that it was not cancer, and asked for prayers for courage to even set a date to reverse the colostomy surgery. It was a lot to get over the first time! 1/7 - D sent an update on his wife Susan, and her battle with pancreatic cancer, as well as her recent infection. He sent his thanks to everyone for the prayers. They are helping and much appreciated. Susan’s infection finally has been healed, so she was able to resume chemo. It’s been really rough. 1/8 - Doof asked for prayers for his mother. She was hit hard by the flu. She couldn’t get out of bed the morning of 11/8 and was sent by ambulance to the hospital. She is alert and communicating but prayers are appreciated for her recovery. Prayers are also appreciated for Doof, as he absolutely despises hospitals. 1/10 – LA Sue asked for prayers for her brother, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in September. They just learned it moved from stage 2 to stage 4. The chemo treatments and side infections from surgery have so debilitated him that he is considering stopping. Please pray for strength and that he opens his heart to God.
1/18 Update – LA Sue is taking her brother to hospice. He is fading. 1/15 – Sharkman posted on behalf of Niederemeyer’s Dead Horse that NDH was given a prognosis of 6 months to live due to heart failure. The plan is for NDH to move into the Mayo Clinic to receive treatment and wait for a transplant. 1/17 – Emmie asked for prayers. She and her husband are on the verge of foreclosure. Their side hustle of delivery driving ended when a young driver crashed into their car and totaled it. They aren’t able to make the mortgage payments without that extra income. Their church is helping, but it’s a small church. 1/18 – Teresa in Fort Worth sent an update. She had surgery on 12/11, and a pump was installed that will direct medication into the hepatic artery. This will allow a much larger concentration of medication to be applied directly into her liver. This should give fewer side effects and (hopefully) shrink the tumors. It will take several months before they know if this new medication is working, but if it does, they are hoping for an extra 2-3 years before the disease progresses again. 1/19 – NR Pax requested prayers for his father, who had a stroke on 12/23. Dad is recovering at home, and Mom is caring for him. NR Pax is thankful that they live in a good retirement community, but it will be rough for them for a bit. 1/20 – Inogame asked for prayers. His wife and baby girl (due in February) are healthy, but some bad luck has come to their family. The business they purchased a year ago has taken an abrupt turn and they are trying to understand what is happening. They may not be able to keep their home if they cannot discover and correct the problem. This stress and what it might mean postpartum is worrying them. Thank you all for your prayers in the past. 1/20 – MkY sent an update on his wife Judy, who was diagnosed with Stage IV renal cancer last January. Despite being unable to receive her cancer drugs for 3 months while her port infection healed up, the tumors did not grow and she is feeling strong. Thanks so much for all the prayers! Last week, MkY was diagnosed with fluid on the brain. They operated the same day. They drilled two holes in his skull, inserted tubes, and had him lay flat on his back for 2 days. MkY thanks God for the modern miracles of medicine. He needs to heal quickly since he operates a small business. So far, no complications. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

I haven't seen anything from the Archdiocese saying the Sunday Obligation has been lifted because of the weather. Since the roads are forecast to be icy tomorrow morning, I'll be going to Vigil Mass this afternoon at my local parish up the road.

A battery charger will pay for itself many times over. I find the old school special needs chargers are actually better in some ways than the talented & gifted chargers.
Alternators are not really suitable to recharge the battery anyway, it is hard on them.

Buzzion said Christina was released from jail.
Doof’s mother was released from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility. Prayers are still appreciated and neeeded.
Diogenes said his friend’s son has stage 4 brain cancer.
Emmie and her family have been loaned/rented an affordable car to help out, but there are still a lot of problems to work through.

I have one of those too. Usually it's on my tractor outside (run and extension cord).
I tried to use it on my generator, but the pigtail on the battery for some reason wont work with the one on the Battery Tender. The red and green lights just blink alternately.

There is no benefit to starting an engine in cold weather if you’re not going to drive it. It is important to keep the battery fully charged. Before cold weather hits. I’m not trying to argue or judge here, this is my considered opinion.
Posted by: Common Tater
I don't like doing that too. And i need to put a tender on *both motorcycles since they won't get ridden for a few weeks. Shash's car gets driven enough to not worry about the battery, but my car couod use a good nap with the charger this weekend.
*I don't wanna pull my car out, just to be able to hook a tender up on my bike.

Daily Tech News 24 January 2026
Top Story
- Yeah, I'm going to stay right here in my insulated, double-glazed, air-conditioned bunker for a week.
- You can get an AMD Ryzen 9800X3D, an Asus X870 motherboard, and 32GB of RAM for $939 at Newegg right now - and even get a bonus mouse. (Tom's Hardware)
That's a $480 CPU, a $300 motherboard, and memory that did cost around $100 but suddenly finds itself at $440. And a $125 mouse that isn't worth $125 or it wouldn't be included for free.
- Just one small problem: Asus is currently reviewing - though not recalling - all of its 800-series motherboards over a string of failures specifically involving the 9800X3D CPU. (Tom's Hardware)
ASRock has been battling this for months. It's rare, but seems to keep happening.
- Oh, and the faster 9850X3D is here. (Notebook Check)
It's only slightly faster, but it's only slightly more expensive. If you were planning on a 9800X3D build - or upgrading an existing system that already has DDR5 RAM - it's not a compelling option but not an awful one either.
Tech News
- Some perspective: Intel reported a loss for 2025, yes, but it was 98% smaller than the loss in 2024. (Tom's Hardware)
The $300 million loss for the year also has to be compared with the $20 billion in fresh investments. I certainly wouldn't count them out yet.
- Intel also confirmed that its new Nova Lake CPUs will be showing up late this year. (Tom's Hardware)
These are expected to have twice the number of CPU cores of any recent consumer models - up to 16 performance cores and 32 efficiency cores, plus 4 low-power cores. Which is rather a lot.
- Japanese toilet maker Toto is seeing its share price rise for an unexpected reason. (Tom's Hardware)
For nearly forty years, the company has also made electrostatic chucks used to hold silicon wafers in place during manufacturing - one of many afterthought components that has seen a sudden surge in demand:Interestingly, the source name checked a few other unlikely Japanese companies that are benefitting from the AI boom. An MSG seasoning maker also makes chip-insulating films, for example. Meanwhile, cosmetics brand Kao's expertise in facial cleansers has an unexpected twin: the company also makes cleaning agents for semiconductor wafers.
Find what you're good at, and keep doing it.
- AMD has prepared a chart showing why its laptop chips are still better than Intel's new Panther Lake CPUs. (WCCFTech)
They're not.
- If you were thinking of buying an Nvidia 5000-series graphics card, now might be a good time to think of buying an AMD graphics card, or to simply find a new hobby like gardening or making fun of people online. (WCCFTech)
Nvidia is cutting production and has abandoned its Open Price Program which tried to keep boards available at MSRP, meaning they soon won't be.
Higher end cards already aren't.
- What TikTok's new ownership means for your feed. (The Verge) (archive site)
It means you're still the same idiot you were yesterday. Stop watching slop that is making you retarded.
- What TikTok's new privacy policy means for you. (Tech Crunch)
It means you're still the same idiot you were yesterday, because the policy has been in place since 2024.

The Big Rain is supposed to start here about 2 pm. It may continue into Sunday morning. The high tomorrow is supposed to be, get this, about 68 . . . and then the bottom will fall out, so the weather "experts" say, and crash down to 24. Minor league stuff, I know -- but people here grumble when temps drop below 50 and panic when it gets near freezing.
Anyway! Here I am, furry thugs trotting about hinting that breakfast is overdue, as I sip coffee. Howzabout you? The ONT was fascinating last night with our discussion of all the things we used to do like listen to our Walkmans and consult our phone books, huh?

Oh. spelled it out at #92
SPP = Southwest Power Pool.
EROCT = Electric Reliability Council of Texas.
ERCOT, which covers MOST of Texas was in the news due to the embarrassing spectacle of the being less than five minutes from total grid collapse due to ERCOT's dangerously high reliance on wind and the wind mills freezing back in Feb/21
SPP, while is has windmills, still relies more on NatGas and Coal (+ Hydro) and it reaches from Canada down into the Northeastern portion of Texas. East Texas is largely on SPP rather than ERCOT (Tyler is in ERCOT).
I moved out of ERCOT because it was run by retards who didn't even live in Texas or even in the US. TX legislators are also retards and fell for Al Gore's lies and wrecked the grid with Wind/Solar.
Unfortunately, my current issue isn't grid stability, but live in oil and tree country where in the 1930s they didn't really think about sleet and wind when playing cat's cradle with the power lines through the woods.

It was in Holland, MI that I witnessed two very young twin boys pick off the ground pieces of that thin plastic strapping that gets wrapped around everything, put them in their mouths, and proceed to clean them by moving them forth and back like dental floss. Did I mention these straps clearly were dirty?
It was only later in life that I figured what I saw was their immune systems telling them, "Time for my version of going to the gym, kiddos!"

I'm not saying that's what's happening. I'm just asking questions.
People might say I'm questioning the weatherman just because I take money from various foreign regimes who passionately hate weathermen.
But, I think it behooves us to ask "why do these people hate weathermen so much? Is it perhaps because these so-called weathermen are actually *controlling* the weather, instead of just reporting on it?"
Inquiring patriots want to know.

I am not sure why she told me and got my hopes up, because she a said a day later that she and my grandmother did not want me "in that part of town at that time of night."
I volunteered one of my brothers to be with me (he did not know about this). She still said no.
I think I would have been awesome and gone national. I also had the perfect last name for a weather girl. Bummer.
The only problem I saw was having to finally learn some of the states in the midwest, which still confuse me to look at on the map above. I continue to not be bothered to learn about four of them.
Had she done this for me, the girl who got my job became a news anchor for decades and I would have stayed there. It was not to be so I broke everyone's heart and moved West. The End.

Miss Linda's cat Angelique was a stray who found me. She came up to me in an empty parking lot while I was drying my freshly-washed car, and uttered that "I need hoo-man help NAOW!" sound that any cat lover knows. She was a beauty and I knew she had to be somebody's pet. I started to get into my car -- and she leaped right in onto my lap.
I took her to Linda's. We put an ad in the paper (this was 2003) and checked with local vets. Nobody claimed her, so she became Linda's cat. We discovered later that she was probably a Siberian or Siberian mix. We showed her pics to a Siberian breeder at a cat show, and she said, "Yup, that's what she is."

All mail around here goes through the Nashville Main PO to be sorted and then distributed. They are notorious for stealing checks from mail that is processed there. It's happened to many here.

At the time my parents were renting pastures to people with horses. The horse people put this kitten out at a barn 1/4mi away from the house. Willis wanted people, not mice.
So he arrived and would not leave. My father fed him secretly. Willis would appear on top of the patio umbrella and look into windows. He got on the roof of the garage. He was going no where and my father thought he was entertaining.
One day my mother noticed a moving lump under their bedspread and he'd invited himself in to never leave. Daddy loved that crazy cat (who attacked people and scared black sitters years later who took care of my father. He was better than a watchdog). Willis, (named for our my grandmother's former gardener, who was a strange character himself, would hide on the stairs and leap out and make people scream.
My husband, not a cat lover, was napping one day on the den couch. Willis made himself at home on his lap. We'd walk by and my man would look at us helplessly as we knew if we tried to move Willis the claws would come out and my guy might not be the same.
He was the best cat of all.

I have become a belligerent. There's fee for paying with a credit card, one must buy a stamp. I pay local bills at the service in cash when possible otherwise I use a bill paying service. It costs only a tad more but the satisfaction of not paying the card fee or the USPS is fine compensation.

Tornado was my last name (not really). I ain't saying what it was, but trust me, it was perfect.
I think the cojoined twin who's not the choice has a bag over her head for the activities. But that's not stopping her from enjoying it.
Otherwise, the married one would say, "Don't look at HER, I AM YOUR WIFE! Don't be making eyes at her!" and it would get ugly.
I honestly think it's weird and do wonder for a few seconds about the one/two now and then in the news. I always feel sorry for the one whose head is sideways as that looks painful, but I guess she's used to it. Hope she doesn't drive (but she does with the other one, dummy!).

This touches on something we’ve discussed often; in most cases male homosexuality is a much different thing than the female version. Of those females of that persuasion I’ve known personally, including some relatives, I’ve seen that their sexuality is greatly affected by having suffered sexual abuse from an older male at a very vulnerable age. My theory / observation is that this leads them to greatly fear any sexual encounter with any man ever again.

..............................
My mother said one of the Home Health Care RN's would ring the bell and ask if Willis was in the house. If he was she would not come in til he was outside. Even then people were nervous.
Granted, in the dark shadow of the stairs you could not see him til he attacked. I would just yell at him and hear my father laughing. He once sat next to me, purring and being good. Then dug those claws in through my jeans and I threw him (he was not small) across the room. My father was delighted.
One sitter (a lesbian we found out due to her "literature" which I did not know existed, but looked at the paperback cover), was terrified of Willis. She said one day my father, in a wheelchair, was sitting next to her watching tv. Willis got on an ottoman and she said she knew what he was thinking.
Willis leaped into her lap and she screamed, "Oh, lawd, save me!" as my father cracked up. I don't know how long Willis visited her.
He was famous.

Oh, I have a "checking account", but it just has a debit card. If I wanted paper checks I'd have to pay a monthly fee, plus whatever the printed checks cost nowadays (which would mostly be wasted... at this rate, one order of checks would more than last the rest of my life).
So far I've been winging it with money orders, which I can get at the same store where I get my prescriptions. The cost for a money order is significantly less than the monthly fee for a checking account.
I'm probably lucky that Old People Warehouse doesn't require payments in beaver pelts or wampum.

I think (and this is not a joke) the only thing to do is ask the twins. Some conjoined twins seem to control separate appendages or feel in certain areas and others have much more control than the other twin. You often can't study this in animal models due to a) you can't ask a mouse questions and get answers and b) they often die while in utero or shortly out of the womb.

Actually, it doesn't. Most big businesses use the check they receive from you as permission to electronically dip into your bank account for the amount of the check. Then they scan the check, send the scan to your bank, and shred the actual check.
I'm not talking about when you write a check to the kid next door for shoveling your driveway, but the checks you write to the electric company, or to your credit card company, or to the county for your property taxes are almost certainly handled that way.

I believe you, sir.
I simply try not to think about homo stuff. I think most of the lesbians are just weirdos who never had a guy look at them and resorted to whatever they do.
It is always reassuring to me to figure out who is the pretend male vs female in a couple. Now you can't tell (ok the Widow of MN you can tell). I did note her "wife" went downhill in looks after coming out of the closet she should have stayed in.
I worked with some ED RN's who were lesbians. I was there for a couple of years before someone told me and laughed at my tardation. I am that vague.
At a college party I was pretty wasted and a girl asked me to a concert that night, after asking if I was straight. I told her no I was not straight, being wasted, and yes I would go with her to the concert.
My bf/husband, lurking around but we were not dating at the time due to his frequent breakups, told her I was with him and was straight. I argued with him til he explained quietly to me what I was agreeing to.

I used a typewriter once. In high school, borrowed my mom’s portable to write a school paper. It was incredibly annoying. And I had a computer, with a printer. But I did not have a word processor. As it happened there was a hamfest that month so I set aside some money thinking there would be software on sale since hams were very much early adopters.
Which there was. I could have bought a word processor. But there were also video games including a wonderful version of Space Invaders. I figured, I can write a word processing in BASIC but not a Space Invaders clone. So I bought the game and wrote the word processor that I used for the rest of high school.

Well, I didn't walk to kindergarten by myself exactly. It was a neighborhood school, so it was like a mass migration of kids every morning.
In 4th and 5th grade, I was a crossing guard. They didn't give us flags on poles back then. We got a bright orange reflective belt, and walked out into the middle of the road (to be fair, the crossings were four-way stops, but still...)

I pay my balance, which is generally small, each month in full. Probably that's part of what they hate.
I got the card in 2019 because they offered 0% on purchases and balance transfers for, I think it was three months. I swapped a Chase balance to it and charged some work on my car, paid no interest, had it paid off by the deadline, no problems. It's nice to have a card to back up the Chase one. Both have ridiculous interest rates, but no fees.

Yeah, pay it off every month & have no annual fee. The CC companies call us "freeloaders" which is BS. They get, what, 3% fee on every CC transaction, whether or not it's listed separately on your receipt. It's just part of the price of goods and services in most places.

Yes, most of the major gas stations now charge .10/gal. more for credit card purchases. But both my gas company credit cards give me .10/gal. off, so I'm getting the cash price anyway.
The Exxon convenience store I've gone to for years has ethanol-free gas at about $1.00 more than E10 regular. I've since found cheaper outlets for E0. But the major annoyance at that one is that the E0 pumps are fantastically slow -- 90 seconds per gallon! I bought four gallons today and had to wait almost six minutes. And this has happened for several months now. Regular pump? No delays at all.

I haven't either since I paid off my first home computer purchase, an 8088 PC from CompuAdd. I had to have one for night school classes. I carried the balance -- making more than minimum payments, yes, but still had a balance -- until I got a better job in 1991. Then, zip, I paid it off.

We've been a credit union member for a long time. Loved our credit union. Then they decided to do a major system upgrade. Can't fault them for that, but it was a disaster. Months later, and there's still functionality missing. We're switching to a new credit union. Unfortunately, the old CU has our mortgage, so we can't fully separate.

Europe: Greenland is sovereign territory. Not on the market. End of discussion.
Trump: Everything’s on the market. I’ll write a $700B check and drop six figures into every Greenlander’s pocket. Fast. Clean. Done.
Europe: We don’t need American money. Still not selling.
NATO: Push this further and you’re out. No alliance cover.
Trump: Fine. Cut us loose. Take our 5% contribution with us. Let’s be honest — without the U.S., NATO is a museum exhibit. And those two sled dogs you call defense aren’t stopping anyone.
(Pause. Silence. Calculations happening.)
Europe & NATO: Greenland remains Danish… but the U.S. can operate freely there. Military, logistics, Arctic access. Whatever you need.
Trump: Perfect. Then I’ll keep the $700B, skip the payouts, and secure Greenland and the Arctic without buying the deed.
Europe: …Deal.

He said "I don't ever put my card in anything"
So don't put your card in anything. He recommended tap-to-pay or apple wallet or Google wallet

A few weeks ago - just before Christmas I was in an antique store in Riverside. There was a 1950's style rotary phone and a young couple - early 20's maybe was looking at it. The guy was telling the girl - 'my grandma had one like this - this is how you made a call.....'. I told them tedious it was to dial and wait, dial and wait and how when the push buttons came in it was 'the cats meow'.
I think I scared them a little......

There was a dude that used to hang at this guitar store that I was at quite a bit. He was a character. Used to buy gear, then trade it in or sell it in a matter of days or weeks because he needed money for bills. Then he would get his check at the beginning of the month and do the same thing all over again. I bought a few guitars and amps from him over the years. Anyway, after 40 years the store eventually closed about 2 years ago because the rent got stupid. Last year I saw one of the regulars and asked about some of the other regulars, just to catch up. I asked about that dude, and the guy says oh man he died. I said wtf happened, when? The guy says the nearest they can tell, he died around december, but didn't find out until april when his trailer caught fire and they found a charred skeleton.

Well, they don't get all of that. It's split between the issuing bank and the merchant's processing company (usually not the same entity), with a smaller amount paid to Visa and Mastercard for operating the network, branding, etc.
Also, the default rate on cards pretty high...around 5% of it winds up getting charged off. Gotta cover that risk somehow. When push comes to shove, people will stop paying their Visa bill before they stop paying rent/mortgage, food, utilities, car payments, etc. It's at the bottom of their priority queue. To make matters worse, it's unsecured debt. There's no house to foreclose or car to repo.
They are definitely making money, but not as much as you might think.

A funny one happened locally when I first got into this with my station and was looking at the network all around.
There's chemical plant between Simpsonville and Ft. Inn SC. They had a weather station, a very expensive fancy Davis one. The damned thing was reading some ridiculous solar irradiance, well over 1000W/m^2 in the middle of the night.
They had mounted the thing right close to one of their big outdoor arc lights.

This is everything. We were free range kids who could not wait to push limits, rub some dirt on it and then push again. On the playground, in class, everywhere.
Our bikes were our freedom machines and the only thing we feared was it getting dark because that meant going home for dinner. What made America great wasn't a bunch of clowns in DC, it was us. We need more of us. Let kids be kids. We have plenty of dirt to rub on it.

20/20, easily.
The "vinyl record" thing shows the list might be a bit old. Vinyl's making a comeback with the Kids These Days.
I still listen to CDs. Other than that, I wonder which of those things was the last thing I did. That might put a limit on how "29" you have to be to get 20/20.
It's probably the phone book one. "Free phone book on the front porch every year" didn't stop until the late 2010's.
Dial-up internet, maybe, for the non-nerds. I had my first DSL box sometime around 1999.

Good afternoon.
The doctor came through just now.
I was contingently approved for a heart transplant pending these last few tests, which I have now passed, so they are presenting me to the committee this afternoon for final approval to be listed.
There are different paths they can take, but they're going to start out by presenting the path that we've discussed here, which is to put in the impella and keep me in the hospital until a heart becomes available. The committee could also decide that there is a better course of action. Whatever they decide, I will know by tomorrow.
So now it's all very real, all over again, and as much as I hate to do this, I must. It hurts to have to ask, but if i'm going to ask, you deserve to know why.
My daughter has set up a GoGundMe for support through this process. I had already lost most of my real estate income due to not being able to work two jobs and, while I'm fortunate to have disability at my day job, it's at reduced pay after 60 days. Even if I received a transplant tomorrow, it would be months before I could return to work.

People were listening to vinyl albums easily to the late 70's early 80's. People were transitioning pretty rapidly from 8 track players to cassette decks in cars by 1980 because by then people were sick to death of dragging 8 tracks across the line with matchbook shims (thats one for the list). I'll say one thing, as a guitar player having to learn songs from vinyl seriously blew ass. Lifting that needle every few seconds to learn a lead, or some other part was right up there with ball surgery with a rusty soup can lid. Forget doing it with an 8 track, miserable pieces of shit they were. Cassettes were a godsend, but I do remember quite a few people using vinyl in the early 80's still. They had cassette players in their car before getting them at home.

I made some beef stew today, all the flavors will meld and it should taste pretty damn good when the snow starts falling. I have a gas stove and if we lose power I can still light it with a match. I got some matches recently at the wedding I went to after Christmas. Nobody carries matches anymore, I found some books of matches from hubs and my wedding, 1983. I am going to put them in my kid's stockings next year.

I generally just cancel old credit card, and then re-authorize payments by new credit card when they remind me.
Now, I may be mistaken, but a certain supposedly anti-virus company had me unknowingly on two accounts. I cancelled the credit card, but they apparently snooped on me enough to know what my new credit card number was.

A friend and I went to a lot of Hong Kong action movies in the 90s. There was a theater in the chines section of the San Gabriel Valley called the Kuo Hwa that was great for this. The movie in question was 'Gog of Gamblers 2' starring Chow Yun Fat. Not to be confused with the several other movies calling themselves God of Gamblers 2 because in Hong Kong it was considered normal to make your own sequel to somebody else's hit movie.
In the movie, God of Gamblers is being visited at his palatial estate in the French countryside by his old friend, God of Guns. (Really, I'm not kidding) Suddenly, a battalion of gangsters attacks! The two defeat them in a spectacular battle that includes one of the most absurd stunts ever conceived (and copied by a few Western productions) but not before Gambler's wife and unborn child are horrifically murdered. The leader of the attackers is captured and is being interrogated brutally.
"Are you still hungry?"
What? My friend and I gave each other baffled looks and then it came to us. In unison,"Have you had enough?"

I have paid in person a few times for various mixups, but honestly - I have too much crap to do. I can't imagine how much of my life would be wasted not doing online bill pay once it was available. From what I recall from the before times I'd estimate 100 hours a year.
Helps that none of my bills have a credit card fee, so that's a free 1.5% cash back on all of them with no downside. That adds up.

I would submit the issue is the other party are crooks, not that there is a generic technical barrier to canceling service (except fucking Comcast that requires you to call, as a policy)
You don't want to cancel cards willy nilly, it can butcher credit. And if you just get a new card number with the same company, yeah, businesses can and will get the upated card info. This usually happens when cards expire.

When I was in office, in charge of my Township, snow removal was one of my requirements of duty.
Good snow removal or even fast snow removal is harder that is appears. There is only a small number of people that can do it well.
That is when I started calling the National Weather Service the lying liars that lie.

Snow beginning very late Saturday, maybe up to 1 inch per hour with it changing to sleet around noon Sunday and totalling 6 to 10 inches.
Plan to hit the first batch with the electric snow blower at around 0800 and then the second batch in the afternoon based upon accumulation. After that, just snow-melt on the crust and rely on the sun for sublimation on Monday.

It's a double-edged sword here. Most of my local taxes are used to preserve open space - which keeps the rural flavor of the township in a sea of overly dense corporate parks and new 'luxury' apartment complexes. The downside is public works are...lacking. Meh, I have a whole house generator, plenty of booze and the better part of a cord of firewood.

I asked my son to pull up the photo of the attendees at the 1927 Solvay Conference at our Cub Scout den meeting this week. Our conversation (these were third and fourth graders) had steered over to Marie Curie.
The kids picked out Marie and Albert Einstein in the picture, of course. I told them that every person in that picture played either major or substantial roles in advancing chemistry and physics one hundred years ago and that, at some point, they will become familiar with more of them.
This got me to asking myself why are there not pictures of such assemblies of notable and great scientists today? Have we lost the capability to pose simple questions whose answers reveal profound i sights into nature? Is it possible that too many scientists today have been sent off to pursue will-o-the-wisps such as My String-a-Ling Theory or Klimate Katastrophe? And who funds such wasted pursuits? The world wonders.

I've been doomscrolling the GFS and Euro model runs for the past two days. It's "fun" watching them evolve. I'm pulling for the Euro now. Was pulling for GFS, but it evolved into mostly freezing rain over me("ZR" in the lingo).
I used to hear my late cousin and the other weather guys go about "warm noses". Well, I see exactly what that it with those model run point sounding graphs (skew-T logP, if interested) you can generate. A warm nose (basically a mid level layer of air above freezing) is what determines sleet or ZR. To big a nose, and it's ZR.
On the Skew-T it looks exactly a nose from a side profile.

They work just fine on regular gasoline (don’t store them with car gas for long periods) and put out a nice amount of heat. Very useful for keeping a crawlspace warm enough to prevent pipes from freezing. They don’t give off objectionable odors, surprisingly. Ventilation is necessary but they are not going to kill anybody with CO.
2 burner stoves, same thing. Work fine with automotive gasoline. No collector value, these are almost free for the asking. They will save your ass in a power outage or emergency.

C&E News is doing some of that, with its turn into People Magazine of the woke chemists. ACS in general does not.
I think the Gordon Conferences have pictures as well.
But todays' media is silent on real science. And only features the pseudo scientists.
That Solvay picture is a famous one.
Posted by: NaCly Dog
I attended two or three Gordon Conferences of the Applications of Multivariate Statistics in Chemistry in the late '90s. I guess there were group pictures, but I am hard pressed to remember where I might have them.
I ditched the American Chemical Society in the mid Oughts after having been a member for over thirty years. There was a particularly nasty and controlling Editor-in-Chief of C&E News named Rudy Baum who issued and enforced a diktat that there would be absolutely NO DISCUSSION in its pages about alternate theories to Anthropogenic Global Warning. He acted like a real dick about it.
Your membership did not lapse by not paying dues, you had to write a letter of resignation to the President of the ACS. I wrote that (Baum) having declared alternatives to AGW as being off limits, I would no longer be a member of an ascientific and duplicitous body. Ta-ta!

Here's the NWS regional office map:
https://is.gd/EtsNSW
Go the office page for your area there, and you can see what all they say. The maddening thing is all the regional websites look very similar but yet can be very different. It's sort of a national template, but each office does its own thing. I'm use to GSP, but I go to some other region, and nothing is where I think it is.
Anyway, get a point local forecast map up and you can see exactly what they forecasting for temp/DP, rain/snow/sleet/ice accumulation.

I read somewhere that engine rebuilders ordinarily don’t want anything to do with “southern” engine blocks for this reason. Rust city.

Remember a half inch of ice adds 500 pounds of weight to a single span of a power line. Through the day tomorrow freezing rain is looking likely at this point. For this event we are forecasting between .30" to .8" of ice accrual. It's a similar setup to what we saw in December 2002. Power loss is likely with areas seeing .50" of ice and higher.

I went to school at Wash U. Six inches of snow shut down the whole city. We walked down the middle of busy streets because nobody was out there driving. It was a bit eerie.
Also, had the worst ice storm I've ever seen there. My car had a headbolt heater, so no prob, but other folks' cars were frozen shut and couldn't move.
I prefer living here, where we are reasonable about winter. We had 22 inches of snow overnight last week, but the snowblower worked fine and off we went. Winter happens. Cope or don't.

Years ago my folks had a place outside or West Palm Beach. It was in one of those carved out of Florida glades areas with canals all over to drain the water. Condo backed right up to one of the canals and the grass sloped right down to the canal, no wall.
I took the dogs out for a morning pee break one morning when I was visiting and one my mom's Jacks froze a couple feet from the canal and was barking its ass off. About 10 feet away in the water were two eyeballs just above the surface.
Grabbed the little land gator and took the other dogs and went inside and called the number they tell you to call when a fucking alligator is in your backyard. Guys were there in a blink and took a big ass gator like they were catching a mouse. They drop them off in the swamp a few miles away. A swamp connected to the canals.
Florida Men.

So Mike Johnson was in the UK, and Nigel Farage jumped him about it. So Johnson got in touch with the White House, and they said “”no, this is what Starmer told us is going on.” So Farage pointed out in detail why all the “assurances” made privately by Starmer were lies, and why all the critics were right.
Well that got to Trump, and led to him publicly calling Starmer “an incredibly stupid man” and vowing to do whatever he could to kill the deal.
Starmer said he didn’t care what Trump said, he was going ahead with the deal. 24 hours later the deal was dead.

My entire county has only 6 trucks that can be fitted with snowplows and that is for over 1,000 miles of roads. Most of them are narrow and full of curves up and down mountain sides. They ice quickly and are treacherous with any amount of snow or ice. With any amt of snow or ice at all, they close the schools county wide.
To be fair though, last year we had more school closure days on account of bear sightings than that of snow days.

Parents and grandparents in MS always dreaded an Ice Storm (which is different than an ICE Storm that we all hope for nationwide). Trees fall down on power lines, no one can drive on ice, and it is a mess.
My very elderly mother's house now has a generator, as does my brother. So I guess they will be ok if trees fall all around on the farm.
I just want some snow, y'all. Please go out and blow it West. Some of us need it. You can keep the ice as I have never seen an ice storm here.

The Week In Woke
Trans-crazy baby-influencer "Miss Rachel" -- she makes videos "teaching" little children about how great transgenderism is -- liked an antisemitic comment demanding, "Free America from the Jews."
She later "apologized," claiming it was an accident. But then when a Hamas-linked account wrote that the Jews left that antisemitic "Free America from Jews" comment themselves, Miss Rachel affirmed that comment, writing "ooooooohhh." Like, "oooooooohhh, nice catch, you caught those tricky Jews!" She's very apologetic, though. These are all just little accidents.
Jennifer Sey
@JenniferSey When I became the Chief Marketing Officer at Levi's, at about 2 months in, I had some mid-level know it all come into my office to tell me everyone hated me, I was steering the ship into oblivion. She told me everyone knew I was doing a terrible job. (The brand had been in decline for over 10 years.) What I had done in my first two months: 1) Say no one could go on trips anymore unless they had a role at the photo shoot or event. No more boondoggles. 2) No drinking at events or concerts we were hosting. We were there to work, not party. 2) Say Marketing needed to feature actual product in the ads. 3) Say we needed to move away from dark and moody and into the realm of fun - because people have fun in jeans. Awful, right?! She wanted me to know, she said, she was trying to help. (She put her feet on my desk while saying this.) Needless to say, this was not a person who was very good at her job. And I wasn't doing mine to be liked so I didn't care if "everybody hated me". I was trying to turn a business around that had been flailing. I took the responsibility seriously. Six years later, we had a very successful IPO. 2 years after that I became the brand president. These people complaining about new leadership are lame. They always do it. They want it how it was, even if how it was wasn't working. And it's even lamer that @Variety writes about this like it's news. Keep going @bariweiss.

Died Suddenly"Hello, I am a biological woman and if you can't accept that you're delusional." Inez Stepman responding to "Conserving Conservatism" Bill Kristol's claim that he has known many men who successfully transformed into women:
@DiedSuddenly_ A Pakistani doctor was arrested in Virginia for performing c-sections and hysterectomies on unsuspecting American women when they were most vulnerable. He would wait for them to be under the influence of labor medication and sterilize them after delivery of their babies. The hospital reportedly ignored red flags for years, overlooking concerns and reports because he generated over 18 million dollars in revenue for the hospital. If you are an American, think twice about hiring a foreign doctors from countries that hate us.
Inez StepmanBTW I do believe that Bill Kristol has frequent interactions with men in dresses. AWFL mother scares her three and five year old shitless by telling them fake stories about ICE "just trying to take all the immigrants" and shooting random lesbians. Virginia Democrat: Republicans will bring back slavery unless we redistrict and gerrymander the state to eliminate all Republican congressmen.
@InezFeltscher The trajectory of the "conservative condemning the right" is basically the same one trod by porn actresses. The first time you open your kimono is the most valuable, and thereafter you find yourself doing increasingly humiliating and degrading acts just to stay relevant.
This Person Place or Thing has a dream: He wants to be the first tranny to receive a womb transplant, so that he can then have an embryo implanted, and then abort it. I have no idea why the public has turned on these nasty psychotics. None at all.

Detectives' Endowment Association
@NYCPDDEA Last week, two NYPD Detectives were mistreated while seeking medical attention at NYU Langone -- Cobble Hill Emergency Room after being injured on duty during the arrest of a violent perpetrator. Upon arrival, they were met with rudeness, disrespect, and a lack of basic professional courtesy by hospital administrators. It is an outrage that any NYPD Detective injured in the line of duty should have to worry about being treated at any hospital in the city they protect. As nurses across the city strike over issues like workplace safety, treating Detectives poorly is not how to make hospitals safer. No one--especially Detectives injured in the line of duty--should face such treatment. The DEA is investigating this matter and will pursue all available remedies to ensure our members are treated with the dignity and respect they have earned.
Councilwoman Vickie Paladino
@VickieforNYC Let's be clear about this -- hospital staff refused to treat plainclothes NYPD detectives injured in the line of duty. Not only that, these officers were treated with contempt completely outside ethical bounds for medical personnel. From what I understand, staff supposedly did this because they thought the NYPD officers might have been 'ICE agents' as if that is a valid excuse to refuse a patient. Let's be very clear about something -- when doctors and nurses and medical staff begin to refuse critical care over perceived political differences, we will have reached a breaking point in this country. If this behavior is allowed to continue, and is not met with swift condemnation and consequences by the mayor and government leadership of New York as well as medical licensing boards and the professional community at large, trust in the medical profession will be shattered beyond repair. Even during wartime, doctors and nurses were bound to treat the wounded of both sides. And they could be trusted to provide competent and compassionate care no matter who they were treating. It was, in fact, a badge of honor for the profession. If the medical profession has now abandoned that basic morality, and patients now have to worry about being refused treatment -- or worse -- because of political hostility from their own countrymen, then a rubicon has truly been crossed and there isn't much else to say. This is a disgrace, it is unacceptable, and it is indicative of the profound moral rot that progressive activism has brought into every corner of our civics. The left is taking us down a very dark path indeed.

I'm going to call Bullshit on this. Removing the entire uterus means that previously child bearing, menstruating women no longer are. That is a bit more of a red flag.
Also, did he do this in the dark without any other people in the OR? Was everyone silent as he is performing a hysterectomy? For years?
Also, the article lacks names, like the name of the perp and the name of the hospital.

In 2005, South Park had an episode where Mr Garrsion became a tranny. He didn't get his period. He assumed that meant he was pregnant. An abortion doctor had to explain he couldn't get pregnant. Mr Garrison then lamented he'd never know what it would feel like to have a baby growing inside him then scramble its brains and vacuum it out.

It's like these people saw South Park and took one of its more loathsome characters as a role model.

From the not provided link:
"grok, is this true?"
"Yes, this is based on the real case of Dr. Javaid Perwaiz, a Virginia OB-GYN convicted in 2021 of healthcare fraud for unnecessary hysterectomies and sterilizations without consent, sentenced to 59 years. The hospital was indicted in 2025 for ignoring red flags amid $18.5M in revenue, and 510 women sued in 2026. Details vary, but core facts hold."

That woman indoctrinating her 5 and 3yr olds ticks me off. People like her are the reason my grandchildren are in a private Catholic school.
Our 7yr old grandson does not note skin color. After her Christmas play our first girl (age 4yrs) took us to her classroom. She'd done a picture of herself (she's very blonde and has blue eyes). She had yellow yarn for her hair but had wildly colored her skin brown. We don't know why, but snickered to ourselves. It might be because a kid at her table, who is Indian, did. Who knows as she's insane on any given day.
To scare your children or take them to vigils and protests is unforgivable. They are too young! What a nutcase this liberal banshee is. Children should be protected from fear. I would bet $1k those kids think the ICE police are snowmen. Or large icicles with feet. INSANE!
I was 6yrs old during the Bay of Pigs. I had no idea how serious it was til I was an adult. While we had bomb drills at school I thought everyone did, like fire drills. No fear, thanks to being raised right.
So these wackos are raising another generation of wacko liberals. Nervous ones!

The civil suit that's starting now should be interesting, because there are over 600 plaintiffs, with demands of $10 Million each. The hospital is the primary defendant (Chesapeake Regional Medical Center) and is owned by the Community. It's a public "non-profit" center. Which means, any verdict gets passed onto the Virginia taxpayer.

He was already sentenced. Wanna take back what you said ?
"A jury found Perwaiz guilty on 52 counts of health care fraud in November 2020. In May 2021, he was sentenced to 59 years in prison. Prosecutors proved his crimes happened at least between 2010 and 2019, but women came forward from decades ago claiming victimization by Perwaiz. Numerous victims testified at trial to the harm Perwaiz had caused them."

I did not fully understand lesbians until I was in my 20's, even though the PE major dorm monitors apparently were vs witches (my mother told me this, but didn't discuss the sex issue). I knew a gay guy (x-ray tech) in nursing school who I'd see at the gay disco bar when we all went dancing. In my bubble I did not, even then, think of the sex part.
In HS we had a sissy type boy who should have been ghey as he wanted to be a cheerleader. We just thought he was a sissy. At a reunion, so I read, he turned up with a ZZ Top beard, on a motorcycle, some sort of preacher, and had about 10kids.
Yes, I was a bit retarded til I met the guy from NY who explained things to me. He had me at the name, "douchebag" for someone. Which I'd never heard before and is still in the top ten of names for people I don't like.

Maybe not that aggressively, but I have seen a tape where an agent says "Do you want to know who you're protecting?"
The protestor is told the guy has multiple counts of kiddie rape, and she says nothing, nor does she change her attitude.

He apparently, for years, scheduled unnecessary surgery for female patients by claiming they had tumors and other issues which they did NOT, so he could bill for things that weren't needed.
He had an elaborate scam going on for years, where he even kept duplicate medical records, one set for billing, and one real.
Someone found out their ultrasound did not show what he said, went to authorities, and wore a wire, and the whole thing unravelled.
He made millions, and a few months ago got sentenced to 59 years.
And women are still coming out to say it went on longer than they were able to prove in court.

I don't think it should be criminalized.
But I said over the Christmas break that I can't put the words "I don't care if" in front of it any more.
It doesn't want to stay a personal matter--no matter how much it insists that it's only a personal matter.
It wants to upend society and its structure.

Microplastics: The Invisible Killers
Or, You Know, Maybe Not
The great microplastics panic: Was it all just 99% bullshit?
I know a lot of you are saying "of course it was, dipshit." I kinda-sorta bought into it at a low level. Microplastics were claimed to be a potential disruptor of testosterone. I didn't buy into it seriously, but I did buy steel straws instead of plastic ones. That's a pretty low level of buy-in. I think they cost me six buck. After at least a decade or two of telling everyone their bodies were filled up with microscopic plastic chains in our brains, internal organs, and balls, some scientists now say it's mostly bullshit, the tests the alarmists are relying on can't tell "microplastics" from ordinary bodily fat.So, plastics are mostly made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, which are of course the building blocks of living tissue, too. So the "signals" are just indicating that carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen are present, and these high priests of The Science (TM) are saying "Must be plastic!!!"
'A bombshell': doubt cast on discovery of microplastics throughout human body
Exclusive: Some scientists say many detections are most likely error, with one high-profile study called a 'joke'
High-profile studies reporting the presence of microplastics throughout the human body have been thrown into doubt by scientists who say the discoveries are probably the result of contamination and false positives. One chemist called the concerns "a bombshell". Studies claiming to have revealed micro and nanoplastics in the brain, testes, placentas, arteries and elsewhere were reported by media across the world, including the Guardian. There is no doubt that plastic pollution of the natural world is ubiquitous, and present in the food and drink we consume and the air we breathe. But the health damage potentially caused by microplastics and the chemicals they contain is unclear, and an explosion of research has taken off in this area in recent years. However, micro- and nanoplastic particles are tiny and at the limit of today's analytical techniques, especially in human tissue. There is no suggestion of malpractice, but researchers told the Guardian of their concern that the race to publish results, in some cases by groups with limited analytical expertise, has led to rushed results and routine scientific checks sometimes being overlooked. The Guardian has identified seven studies that have been challenged by researchers publishing criticism in the respective journals, while a recent analysis listed 18 studies that it said had not considered that some human tissue can produce measurements easily confused with the signal given by common plastics.
... 'The paper is a joke' "Levels of microplastics in human brains may be rapidly rising" was the shocking headline reporting a widely covered study in February. The analysis, published in a top-tier journal and covered by the Guardian, said there was a rising trend in micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in brain tissue from dozens of postmortems carried out between 1997 and 2024. However, by November, the study had been challenged by a group of scientists with the publication of a "Matters arising" letter in the journal. In the formal, diplomatic language of scientific publishing, the scientists said: "The study as reported appears to face methodological challenges, such as limited contamination controls and lack of validation steps, which may affect the reliability of the reported concentrations." One of the team behind the letter was blunt. "The brain microplastic paper is a joke," said Dr Dusan Materic, at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research in Germany. "Fat is known to make false-positives for polyethylene. The brain has [approximately] 60% fat." Materic and his colleagues suggested rising obesity levels could be an alternative explanation for the trend reported in the study. Materić said: "That paper is really bad, and it is very explainable why it is wrong." He thinks there are serious doubts over "more than half of the very high impact papers" reporting microplastics in biological tissue. ... But the brain study is far from alone in having been challenged. One, which reported that patients with MNPs detected in carotid artery plaques had a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes than patients with no MNPs detected, was subsequently criticised for not testing blank samples taken in the operating room. Blank samples are a way of measuring how much background contamination may be present. Another study reported MNPs in human testes, "highlighting the pervasive presence of microplastics in the male reproductive system". But other scientists took a different view: "It is our opinion that the analytical approach used is not robust enough to support these claims."So, should we all now just start eating plastic? Yes. Yes we should.
BBC News You Can Use: Why (Leftwing) Women Are Going to Rage Rooms. Um, because they are mentally ill and drugged up and no one ever tells them to shut the fuck up and act like adults? The BBC assures me it's far more complex than that.
"There was definitely a moment of discomfort at the start," says Deena, but she says her visit to a so-called rage room felt very different to what she'd expected. She didn't feel chaotic or aggressive smashing things up, but instead "surprisingly controlled and a lot more intentional". "Once I settled into it, it felt like more of a physical release as opposed to an emotional outburst," she told the BBC. Deena is one of a reportedly growing number of women choosing to pay to hammer and bash old items such as TVs, furniture and crockery whilst kitted out in specialist protective gear. ... There are still only a small number of venues in the UK where people are handed a baseball bat and let loose. They've been touted as one way to alleviate stress and release pent-up anger. But what seems surprising is the client base, with some owners saying most of their customers are women.This surprises you, huh? So in other words, your initial bigoted assumption is that violent men were employing these "rage rooms" to work out their toxic masculinity, and you were all set to attack them for this frenzied juvenile rage, but now that you are "surprised" to find out that drugged-up mentally-ill women are the primary (read: exclusive) users of rage rooms, it becomes a hip and health trend that everyone should try?
Not as much conditioned to repress these toxic emotions as they used to be!
Similarly, Shuka says she didn't feel angry, but wanted to see how it felt to "let loose" and was given a car to smash up whilst listening to a playlist of her favourite songs. "It was way more satisfying than I expected, there was something weirdly freeing about smashing things and not having to be careful. "Afterwards I felt like I'd done a workout for my brain as well as my body," she says. Kate Cutler, the co-owner and founder of a rage room in East Sussex, says it's "getting busier and busier" with female customers. ... She says some women come in because they've been cheated on or had a difficult break-up and sometimes just because "they have anger coming from nowhere." Author and psychotherapist Jennifer Cox told Radio 4 Woman's Hour she believes women are "conditioned" to repress feelings of "frustration, anger, aggression and rage".
Again, do you believe they would view this violent, crazed behavior as cute and hip if it were men busting things up? I guess this is now officially a GAINZZZ thread. I avoided these for a long time, because I have no GAINZZZ. I let myself go at Thanksgiving and I never stopped letting myself go. And now I'm going to have to fast just to get back to "overweight." One thing I've been trying, sporadically, to do is to eat a lot of protein early in the day. Supposedly, according to a study mentioned by Thomas DeLauer, the body will feel hungry until it has consumed its preferred amount of protein for the day. After that, hunger is diminished. The target number is 0.6 gram per pound of body weight. Does it work? I mean, kind of, yeah. If I have two high protein meals I don't feel very hungry at other times, or feel much of a need to snack. But I haven't been doing it consistently. How about you? Any GAINZZZ? I didn't ask in the New Years period because promises made during New Years are like promises made three feet from a bed. They tend to be forgotten in the morning. But now that we're into the New Year, and well away from New Years Day-- any real resolutions to declare?
Often, she says women, in particular - end up "sandwiched" between the demands of work, parents and small children, and can end up "furious." Really they should let it out, she says, and thinks spaces like this, which allow women to release their anger can be very helpful.

There is no suggestion of malpractice, but researchers told the Guardian of their concern that the race to publish results, in some cases by groups with limited analytical expertise, has led to rushed results and routine scientific checks sometimes being overlooked.
The Guardian has identified seven studies that have been challenged by researchers publishing criticism in the respective journals, while a recent analysis listed 18 studies that it said had not considered that
So at least 25 studies of microplastics turns out to be total steaming piles of monkey crap, and there's no suggestion of malpractice.
I'm just a blue-collar, illiterate, toothess cousin-humping conservative, but even I know that either the researchers were deliberately lying through their asses or they are total retards. Both reasons fall under malpractice.

The radical fast/rapid weight gain/radical fast loop is not healthy. The trick is to find a sustainable diet that feels natural and intuitive.
It's not hard. Low sugar. Good fats. Regular exercise.
Joking aside, this morning I weighed in at one pound lighter than I was when I got out of Army basic training in 2000. It feels good and I've been at this weight for about three months, give or take a pound or two, so it's stable.

Additionally, industries use plastics extensively. For example, Boeing and plastics/composites: The 787 Dreamliner: The airframe is 50% composite materials, primarily CFRP. It uses about 70,000 pounds (33 tons) of carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
Structures: Wind turbine blades are rarely pure metal; they are large composite structures, typically made of fiberglass or carbon fiber reinforced with epoxy or polyester resins (a type of plastic).
AI Overview: Industries that rely most heavily on plastics include packaging, construction, automotive, healthcare, and electronics, with packaging being the largest consumer. These sectors leverage plastic for its lightweight, durable, sterile, and cost-effective properties, essential for shipping, safety, and manufacturing.
I never seen mold, etc. grow on vinyl but whatever is being used for the molding of kitchen storage containers, shower curtains, etc. allows mold (at the minimum) to grow. I'm back to glass storage containers & vinyl.

As a destructivist, that sounds like fun!
But if you go back a decade and had guys done that, it'd be "That's so immature!!" "Why don't you grow up?!"
Thus: only women are allowed such frivolities.
It would have been "toxic" had men done it first; It would have made women "afraid".

STOP what you're doing - we have a pretty huge update and confession about this whole "Report ICE activity hotline" situation.
By about 1am, we had reports come in from numerous states that there had been "incidents" at a number of biker bars last night. 🇺🇸
It turns out that "report ICE activity hotlines" had received "tips" about "off-duty ICE agents" drinking at dozens of bars. Those bars just so happened to be biker bars owned or frequented by individuals who haven't always been on the right side of the law.
ICE protestors were alerted and given the addresses of these bars. According to friends of ours across the country, beta soy boy, gender-fluid communist Meal Team Sixers showed up with their "F-ICE" flags and tried barging into the bars.
Except... there were no ICE agents drinking there. As a wise man once said... "now you's can't leave".
To clarify, WE absolutely did NOT report those addresses to the "Report ICE activity hotlines". That's ridiculous, guys. What kind of people do you think we are?

On a related note, you can tell a person's approximate age by how many cycles of "we have to DEASTICALLY reduce CO2 emissions, or it will be a DISASTER in 10 years" they have been through. It tells you something, how there are people who have been through 4 or 5 cycles of that, and are STILL TRUE BELIEVERS. If you have the job title of "scientist", you can never be wrong, even if you never get a single thing right.

I had a dance student back in the 80s who was a retired Army guy, who had been through West Point in his youth.
He said part of the underclass hazing was to make it hard for them to eat at meals, so that they'd feel it more during physical drill.
He said they had big pitchers of cream on the mess tables at breakfast, and he used to sieze his moment to grab one and chug it, because he knew it was the quickest highest calorie thing on the table to take a chance at getting away with.

I want Ace (and everyone! Like I am Oprah the bazillionaire!) to have a Golden Puppy. They are all sweet and crazy; and all addicted to tennis balls. Well, our Shelby liked them but did not lower his standards to fetch as the retriever was bred out of him. He'd look at me and say, "You threw it, get it yourself!" I loved that boy.
I've got so much DDT in my organs from riding bikes in the clouds of mosquito fog I am not worried about microplastics.
Guess who had a "rage room" in her house? Scrawny and creepy Nic Kidman! I read it as a "scream room" in her house with Urban. I have always wondered about her, anyway, and this sealed the deal. What a weirdo. Her Aussie father was rumored to be some sort of satanic pedo when he died. I am full of strange trivia.
I have lost 7lbs since Christmas and will continue. I have protein with breakfast now and an apple at 3pm. I am also, now that the cardiac freak out is behind me, going to start exercising harder. Life is very good. I hope to be in fine shape by summer and starting my swimming. Altho not trying to impress anyone at the pool.

30 years ago a styling young man tripped as he was using a glass straw to snort coke with a glass straw and pacing wildly (as one does) in his living room in his apartment. It punched into his brain and he bled out face down on the floor.
The rental manager replaced the carpet but didn't bother with the padding or the sub-floor, and the next tenant - who was a friend of a friend - complained about the odd smell until the management agreed to replace it all.

As I said earlier, I doubt they will ever go to trial, if they do it will be a quick 15 minute jury nullification with a not guilty verdict. It's minneapolis after all. They might plead out to a misdemeanor with a token fine or a couple of hours of community service but they aren't going to do any time.
It's pointless for the AG or anyone to charge crimes for what is happening in minnesota. No one will ever be convicted there, it's just not going to happen.

Leftwing Lunatics Now Pushing Pregnancy Denialism, Claiming That Trump Must Be Faking the Three Recent Pregnancies In His Administration
Second Lady (and "jeet," according to Tucker Carlson's friend Nick Fuentes) Usha Vance announced that she's pregnant.
She'll be the first Second Lady to give birth while in office in 150 years.Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President J.D. Vance, has already made history in a few ways: she's the first person of color to become Second Lady and the youngest Second Lady since the Truman Administration. She may also soon be the first sitting Second Lady in modern history to bear a child in over 150 years. "We're very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy," the Vice President shared on social media Tuesday. "Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are all looking forward to welcoming him in late July." In the message, the Vice President thanked military doctors for "[taking] excellent care of our family" and staff members "who do so much to ensure that we can serve the country while enjoying a wonderful life with our children." J.D., 41, and Usha, 40, met at Yale University and married in 2014. They have three kids: Ewan, 8; Vivek, 5; and Mirabel Rose, 4. Before Usha Vance, the only sitting Second Lady in modern history to give birth was President Ulysses S. Grant's Vice President Schuyler Colfax's wife Ellen, who had a son in 1870; birth records before then are unclear. The Trump White House extended its congratulatory message to the Vances, and in a post on X, called itself "The most pro-family administration in history!" Vance, in particular, is an outspoken pro-natalist. He has sounded the alarm on declining birthrates, branded Democrats as "childless cat ladies" and "anti-family and anti-child," and called Americans' lack of desire to have children as a "civilizational crisis."In May, press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that she was pregnant with her second child. This will be the first child born to a sitting press secretary in history. All of this was too much for leftwing women and their haunted vaginas filled with the ghosts of aborted babies, who decided this must be some kind of conspiracy. Why, getting pregnant just isn't something women do! (It's what men do!)

I would normally say "Math! How does it work?" but in your case I would have to say "Sex? Reproduction? How does it work?" because the 40-week due date is set from the date of the woman's last menstrual cycle and from that you can the estimated fertility window, which for a 7/22 date would be 10/25-11/4.
Math: this is more than six weeks from the time one of your compatriots murdered someone
Understanding sex and reproduction: obviously something you will never have to concern yourself with.

Yeah, you must live where people cook daily.
My Safeway store had no milk (but Target for the win, not gonna lie - I have it, but kids already drank 1 of 2 gallons, so I want extra), but it was more the devastation of the meat and veg departments (but not fruits b/c folks don't think of fruit for meals) - I grabbed the last ground beef b/c I wanted the sale item, which is all I was going for, but man, chicken and beef were slammed. Broccoli was gone. Asparagus had 2 left (which I grabbed b/c I like veg). Rotisserie chickens (also on sale) gone.
So, note to NoVa folks, always keep a spare freezer for proteins.

Advocates (residents, nurses, etc.) and Philly Councilmember Kendra Brooks are protesting the 2026 fiscal year budget, which - reportedly - left $0 in funding for local reproductive health services, including Planned Parenthood Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Pregnancy Help News, Commentary, 17 November 2025 - 'Philadelphia City Council declares killing preborn babies a 'human right' while taking aim at pregnancy centers'
In part, "Abortion advocates also unnecessarily warned against pregnancy resource centers, which provide valuable help to pregnant women and their babies."
“In our most recent budget no money was put towards reproductive care, which is definitely problematic,” Brooks said. “Especially when other cities like Chicago, Atlanta and Baltimore are stepping up with direct city funding for abortion..."

I was pondering her continued employment in healthcare, and her and others of her ilk have no business in any form of labor that deals with the health and safety of others - medicine, LEO, food service, air traffic control, etc. So what else is there they can do other than collect trash? Because I "think" that's a job in which she cannot inflict harm, but honestly, I don't know anymore.

She honestly was never the same afterwards. Became more liberal wacko as the decades passed. Then, in her early 40's decided (in her 2nd marriage) she wanted a baby. Not enough eggs to harvest. Unable to get pregnant again. I think in the early '70's damage was also done in the procedure. As she is a malignant narcissist, I am glad she did not have a child to scar.
Like a young loon with Stockholm Syndrome, I tried to be supportive of her feelings at the time and be a friend.
I hope, and I don't know, she's asked God for forgiveness. I'd be on my knees daily if I was her, but I'm not and have other stuff to ask forgiveness for, but not as serious.
Today is the March for Life in DC, and I pray for all attending. I was flying once and saw a nun r who'd just been in that march. She was beautiful, the aura around her. Serene. Drew all eyes on the plane.

My late wife had an abortion long before I met her. She absolutely hated the Catholic Church (for reasons unknown to me for the longest time) our entire marriage and descended into madness after the death of our first son.
I know now, that she never forgave herself for that act. I believe she attributed the death of Matthew to her abortion and it directly led to her madness and eventual suicide.
In the best of circumstances there are two victims during an abortion. Oft times, it's many, many more.

Agree. If I was still a RN in FL I'd be calling the State Board in Tallahassee to complain, as it was my profession . That is no nurse I'd recognize in her statement, but a psychopath should not be near a patient, much less a baby or women giving birth.
I worked in the step-down NICU for a decade. We would have died for those babies, and this is no exaggeration. In case of fire we had aprons with six large pockets to put the babies in to evacuate, who were not on vents or IV's or oxygen.
These nurses are often there for their entire careers as it is so special. When I trained in the newborn nursery I was under the microscope as they are incredibly protective.
This nurse, who was fired, should not be hired again. You are there to promote life and prevent injury or harm. Politics should not matter.

I worked for the McCain/Palin campaign in the Philly region years ago, directly with Palin's team that was under the direction of Nichole Wallace.
Trig IS Sarah Palin's son. There is absolutely no doubt about that. Her husband, parents, and one sister always accompanied her as did her oldest daughter - who was pregnant - and two younger daughters & the baby. (I believe their older son was in the National Guard at that time.)
They were an exceptionally beautiful family, all interested and attentive to the children, especially the baby, Trig. And they were so normal, it was doubly hard to see the nasty, plain and loudmouthed progressives holding up really lousy, hurtful signs and yelling equally lousy comments at the courthouse to the family.

In the best of circumstances there are two victims during an abortion. Oft times, it's many, many more.
Posted by: Tonypete at January 23, 2026 05:10 PM (cYBz/)
.......................................
I am so sorry, Tonypete. For all you went through. I am sorry for her as well, as she would be forgiven.
I read a book about this madness after abortion. It clicked that that was what my former friend had hanging onto her. I haven't spoken to her in 20yrs, so I will never know if she's asked God for forgiveness and lessened her burden.
She's the only person I know who had an abortion. In the '70's we were told the "clump of cells" propaganda myth. I saw it differently as a student nurse in OB. And I certainly saw the difference as a mother of two boys.
I hate that your wife felt guilt over the death of your son, on top of everything. I am so sorry you suffered as well.
Fathers are often, even today, never considered how they feel. And many males feel differently from what I can tell.

Good. Putting aside just how inherently vile her statement is, no hospital in its right mind would want an L&D nurse on staff wanting women to suffer severe injury in childbirth for any reason, let alone politics. A PR and potential liability nightmare.

I remember watching the old Dustin Hoffman movie "Outbreak" in a theater, and at the end they flashed some text on the screen that read "The single biggest threat to man’s continued dominance on the planet is a virus."
By which they meant, that humankind was a virus that needs to be eradicated to save Mother Gaia.

The apparent inability to link cause and effect is curious. I doubt that Birth Woman wanted to be fired. Yet she made it certain.
I do recall something an industrial psychologist told us during our required annual "don't be a dumbass" training. That people put things on the internet with the intention and understanding that their audience is a few friends, instead of what it really is: the whole world.

Yes. Abortion corrupts the very soul. I've never met a stable woman who had an abortion. We had a neighbor a few doors down in the old neighborhood, and she was an artist, super-liberal, super pro-choice, and "shouted her abortion," which happened when she was younger and the father was a talented musician, and she knows exactly how old the kid would be, probably an immense talent, but the timing was wrong for her career, and the man left after it happened but she's super happy and never thinks about it at all.

There are special ministries to console women who had abortion and experience God's forgiveness. Much of the madness we see is demonic energy that they draw upon to keep going. Being too proud to seek forgiveness, they deny the sin, but the guilt and shame remains, so they use it to fuel their endless wrath.
The fallen angels hate us, and rejoice at our shameful behavior. Convincing mothers to kill their children goes a long way back.

She declined and had an abortion against my strident wishes.
She subsequently got pregnant again (what can I say, we were both poor white trash) but sadly had a miscarriage.
And she never forgave ME for that (you see, it was my fault -- not her guilt) ... and ended our relationship, despite my continuing to ask her to marry me.

Thank you, however it was an honor and the best job of my career of many good jobs. I think I took care of 1000 babies as being one of the first to care for them. And I loved every single one.Only worked weekends.
I have ONE photo of me holding a pediatrician friend of mine's baby in the window of the newborn nursery after her first bath.
The only photo of me as a new grad with my cap was by my proud aunt. I'd taken the cap home for Christmas, and she wanted to see me in it. I am glaring at the camera and it's my Nurse Ratched photo for my husband's delight. Also how I looked at 2 or three doctors as a charge RN.
We were told never, ever to wear that cap outside of the hospital. I guess I thought the main instructor would sense me doing this 1000mi away or I'd turn into a pillar of salt. I do love it!

Medicaid Administrator Dr. Oz: We Tried to Investigate Fake Businesses Bilking the Taxpayers and We Were Followed, Harrassed, and Intimadated by a Gang of Somalis
He doesn't say "Somalis," but it's implied by circumstances.
From David Strom at Hot Air, digesting this interview at Alpha News.I think he means that there are 400 different "businesses" in the one building.
It seems systemic in its nature. The building that we visited together, Griggs building was a textile factory, became an office building. It's not a nice part of town. I wouldn't take my kids there to get cared for, frankly, do much else in business, but somehow they had 400. Medicaid, uh, offices doing business with Medicaid, charging almost $400 million to the taxpayer.
That means basically each of those business made a million dollars. You wouldn't walk in this building in the seedy part of Minneapolis. And so I suspect there might have been others who knew this was happening. Certainly, uh, collaborating with these folks, maybe even, I wonder, you know, folks who in the building, the neighborhood, I mean, someone knew. Then you start getting into the broader issue. We just talked to whistleblowers, which is chilling. You see the retaliate, the, the re retaliatory tactics, the shuffling around of people who are trying to put their hands up and say, I see a problem. But at its very core, there has been a, a confusion about what it really means to work in healthy human services in Minnesota. It's not a partnership with vendors. You are the regulator. It is your job to make sure there are limited opportunities that the fraud, the taxpayer, or if you create services, and these are Minnesota nice services and Minnesota nice people, services don't have a lot of guardrails. You know, you don't have to attest to very much. You have to just say you're trying to do things. You don't have to put your name in any forms. It's hard to regulate that and then the people doing the regulations aren't comfortable doing it. What they found in this document is that the, the majority of folks didn't think they could do the job and in over half the cases there was suspicion. There was rule, you know, reason for caution. Things didn't seem what, what they're supposed to be. That's half to more than half the cases from the state government's auditor telling us this. So anybody out there in the legislators, a average citizen, we were chased out of buildings by car, honking people, giving us the finger, you know, following us, following us, following us, trying to intimidate us.

@n8tvnomad Jan 19 I applied for benefits when I was going through chemo and homeless and a part of the process is to do an interview which was over the phone. The woman who "interviewed" me was Somali, couldn't speak conversational English and after 3 questions she hung up on me abruptly and denied my application. I firmly believe that the Somali people working for the state diverted funds from needy people to their friends and family via denials of applications for non Somali people. I am a nurse as well and I've got multiple stories of patient's and their friends and families that would enrage even the most level headed Minnesotans.

And when the Feds ask for verification of recipients, a whole grandstanding host of politicians, NGOs, news media scream at how that's illegal somehow, and some judge who's in on the fraud gets to shut down the Fed's inquiry.

>>🚨BREAKING - ARREST IN CA HOMELESSNESS FRAUD CASE
>>Alexander Soofer's "Abundant Blessings" got $23 million from LAHSA to provide, among other things, nutritious meals for the homeless. Soofer pocketed most of the $, and provided the homeless w/ "ramen noodles and a microwave" according to
@USAttyEssayli
>>With the $ he bought a $7 million home in Westwood, a $125,000 Range Rover (which was seized), a $500,000 vacation home in Greece, clothing from Hermés and Chanel, paid his kids' private school tuition, and stayed in luxury hotels like the Four Seasons in Maui, the Wynn in Las Vegas.
I'm beginning to think that we may need to strengthen our checks on how our money is spent.

It's like these inbred savages don't remember the Battle of Mogadishu. One thing that pisses me off about the movie Blackhawk Down is that it omitted one of the best parts of the book. One of the wounded Rangers is getting worked on by a medic in the Pakistani stadium. The medic mentions that he feels really sorry for what happened to the Rangers.
The wounded kid scoffs and says "you wanna feel sorry for someone, feel sorry for Skinny. We kicked their fuckin' asses."

But if they're literally all in on it, that mechanism breaks down.
In which case the grotesque enormity of the fraud should cause such a rebellious uprising in We The People that none of these mutants dare show their face in public ever again.
But that requires people to investigate stories like this, maybe write it down, like in a journal or something, to, you know, report on it.
If only a job like that existed. Like a journaler, or a reportist. Nah, those are just made up words.

So, all you have to do to keep up the fraud is come right the hell back at the regulators with threats (illegal) and evasions (illegal) and false charges (illegal).

Over the past 13 years, there have been on average 100,000 Chinese anchor babies born in the USA (see "Birth Tourism") and being raised in China as "US Citizens." [That's over 1 MILLION ChiComms who can eventually vote and destroy the country.]
Hopefully, this book will influence the SCOTUS regarding "Birthright Citizenship," but I'm not holding my breath with Benedict Roberts and Amy Coney-Island.

I admit to being stunned at the amount of fraud. And why our country's debt grows.
All the blue states and blue cities should be on notice. Granted, there is so much incest among the blue states/cities judicial systems connected to liberal politicians, it will take time to follow the trails. But electronic trails are there and they will be found.
Somolians can "pull the plug" to their computers all they want. I guess they have not heard of The Cloud, being barbarians.
The free Monopoly Money is coming to an end. Which is why shrieking Somolian women are freaking out as TSA finds their suitcases of money as they flee.
Good. It's all good. My mind has blown over how long this fraud has been in these states, with the shield of politicians. Astounding ass-hattery.

Also Trump has so many plates in the air that he can break each one on schedule while getting everyone to focus on the others.

I had a relative (white female early 60s) who was trying to get disability because she had congestive heart failure. She went to the disability office, and was immediately denied of her claim, by the office full of biting but foreign born Puerto Ricans. She went to dispute the claim and the judge didn't even have her make her case, he just looked at her, saw how sick she was, and immediately approved it.
But that's how it goes in all these cities. The foreign hordes that have complete control over our city services and tax pay money, do everything to make sure they can funnel that money to family and friends.

This draws the masses of lesbian protest terrorists to false addressses while the real captures take place.
I hope it is true as I love the idea! I also figure some of the group are Morons and think the way we do.
The judicial system that puts stop gaps on deportations is connected as a bridge from fraud to politican's wallets. They all get kickbacks. They all are connected to others.
It is basically a maze of evil, a war that is here without firing a shot. The invasion happened mostly under Biden and they are entrenched now.

The media and left constantly hate when Trump is correct but not perfectly mannered like Martin Sheen was on "West Wing". So if they're consistent (stop laughing), Gavin is absolutely the worse offender here.

Kindltot, same here, except MOST of it is because of the struggle to just make part of it go away. I mean fuck! Proper, authorized, credentialed regulators show up and make proper inquiries and you just say No you racist, and that's an end of the matter? Normally we think of the fraudbusters as riding to the rescue, but in this case it's just another escalation of the ongoing crime!

Can we recover from this state? Is the perfidy already too ubiquitous to recover from? Is there anything left to save?

First we will need to recruit a big bleeping lot of honest people.
Then we need to get honest people in the jobs that are in position to check how our money is spent and can initiate formal investigations. Then we need to get honest people in the investigator jobs. And on and on through the bureaucracy.
Backtracking a bit, we need to recruit enough honest people for all those jobs, willing to work honestly and diligently for Fed/state/county/city civil service pay. And we'll need enough honest people for those jobs at that pay who have strong enough personalities to weather the insults, threats, and bureaucratic roadblocks thrown at them every day.
It may be a near-impossible task to significantly end current fraud then prevent it re-occurring.
The only good solution as I see it, is summary executions of fraudsters by proclamation of Vlad the Impaler. /sigh/

State Department Schedules Hamas Agent and Permanent "Student" Mahmoud Khalil's Deportation to His Actual Home Country of Algeria
But for the moment, Mahmoud's getting the boot.
The most infamous foreign student activist against Israel and for Hamas at an American university could finally face deportation. While the Trump administration has tried to deport Columbia University student and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil more than once, woke judges have interfered, and the Trump administration has agreed to follow their ridiculous demands on Khalil's behalf. But a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official indicated Wednesday evening that Khalil's destination after deportation is tentatively settled. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said on NewsNation's Katie Pavlich Tonight on Wednesday, "It looks like he'll go to Algeria. That's what the thought is right now." She followed up with a more widely applicable caution: "It's a reminder for those who are in this country on a visa or on a green card. You are a guest in this country -- act like it." Importantly, the Trump administration accuses Khalil of committing fraud on his green card application. And, of course, the federal government can revoke a visa or green card from anyone who shows himself a threat to our national security by supporting foreign terrorist entities, or by deliberately riling up social unrest, as Khalil did. Residing and studying in America as a foreign national is a privilege, not a right.
Mahmoud Khalil is a citizen of Algeria, not the US. He cannot vote in NYC elections. He is a green card holder, but, per @StateDept @SecRubio, violates the terms of his status by supporting a U.S.-designated terrorist organization (Hamas) and lying on his application for… https://t.co/w9PIDNLahc

@bluelivesmtr We're not saying that Blue Lives Matter was behind feeding false information to far-left, anti-ICE protestors. We're not saying we had teams comprised of HUNDREDS of off-duty cops and veterans volunteer to run decoy operations so far-left activists THOUGHT they were conducting ICE raids. We're not saying they were in fact they were just driving around in what appeared to be unmarked vehicles with tinted windows... drinking coffee and listening to Guns and Roses.... being chased down and surrounded by protestors. What we ARE saying is that if it DID happen.... it sure worked remarkably well in NINE DIFFERENT STATES, allowing ACTUAL raids to successfully take place unimpeded, helping support the capture of HUNDREDS of criminals. Combat veterans, off-duty officers and patriotic Americans have had enough of the radical left... and are being activated across the country to back our #lawenforcement. And they're smarter...more skilled... more driven... better trained than the left ... and actually enjoy sitting in a deer stand for days on end just waiting. @DHSgov @ICEgov we've got you.

Blue Lives Matter
@bluelivesmtr
STOP what you're doing - we have a pretty huge update and confession about this whole "Report ICE activity hotline" situation.
By about 1am, we had reports come in from numerous states that there had been "incidents" at a number of biker bars last night. 🇺🇸
It turns out that "report ICE activity hotlines" had received "tips" about "off-duty ICE agents" drinking at dozens of bars. Those bars just so happened to be biker bars owned or frequented by individuals who haven't always been on the right side of the law.
ICE protestors were alerted and given the addresses of these bars. According to friends of ours across the country, beta soy boy, gender-fluid communist Meal Team Sixers showed up with their "F-ICE" flags and tried barging into the bars.
Except... there were no ICE agents drinking there. As a wise man once said... "now you's can't leave".
I've never wanted something to be real and caught on video more in my life.

Despite that in any other circumstance, that would be the behavior you would want from federal officers were the father some other kind of federal criminal/tax-evader. If they held the kid it would be ICE HAS ***ARRESTED*** A KID!!!

I see nothing wrong with his comments, or incitement to terrorism. These are his legitimate opinions, and they're not even that far-fetched. There are open supporters of Zionism and Israel, so this is just another case of censorship.
Cool. Material information left off his application so they’re going to send him to Algeria to be imprisoned in a shipping container in 100+ degree heat. Are you proud of your country?
MAGA forgets the part where visas can't be revoked for unconstitutional reasons. Like suppression of speech. That’s why they pretend it’s because he did not mention that he worked for the fking UN.
The New Jersey judge who evaluated his records found nothing incriminating or anything posing a “threat” to national security or even anyone in the campus. That is why he was released. Now they are trying to go after some minute technicality in his immigration paperwork.
It’s very obvious to anyone with common sense that he was (and still being) falsely targeted & witchhunted.

It's not optimism. The people pushing to keep criminal illegals in the country are a small, paid group of agitators. They get amplified by the media to appear to be a very large group but they aren't. And that same media is the one doing the polling.
The California fraud is just starting to get exposed. Same in Maine. Ohio is in play and so are a number of other states. And the investigations and arrests are not going to stop. The same people organizing the protests are the same people involved with the fraud. Just saw on X that Hennepin Healthcare, Minneapolis, is in "dire fiscal condition" and the DEI leaders are jumping ship. They are also under investigation.

This idea that every illegal needs due process, and Palestinian activists have free speech rights, is simply factually false. Hell, you don't need a warrant or probable cause, or anything to arrest an illegal, because he ISN'T an American citizen. The constitution doesn't apply. Judge didn't sign the warrant? So? Judge issued a deportation order and that's that. Don't need a warrant to arrest and deport him, because he isn't an American citizen. Heck, if you are at the border, you don't even need an Immigration judges' decision to deport. Just do it.
Also, re. asylum claims - this is not U.S. law; this is a treaty the U.S. signed ages ago. How and where we adjudicate asylum claims is entirely up to us.

The interesting thing about that is a lot of the decoy participants are off duty police officers. So, it seem obvious that the police departments purposeful non-involvement in assisting ICE is, obviously, a Mayorial political decision not shared by a significant number of police officers.

Ran into a Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a.k.a. the “Maryland Man” leaving the Baltimore #ICE Field Office after a ride with #ICE this morning. Any questions you think I missed?
Also, isn’t it funny how the left abandoned him now that they have their new “victim” to peddle in Renee Good!
Garcia should never have been allowed back in our country. The sooner we deport him for good the better!

Fried already said he wasn't happy with thousands of people coming into his city and not sharing their values. Since he wants to retain these "most vulnerable", it's obvious, crime is a shared value.

"I know I voted for the guy who kept saying that we'd see the largest deportation operation in history, but this is so messy that I'm voting Democrat."
-this person doesn't exist
2026 is going to be about turnout differentials, which is just that opposition parties tend to turnout slightly more than those in power.
However, gerrymandering from 2020 is going to blunt it a lot, plus it's hard to say how the DOJ Civil Rights Division's lawsuits on voter rolls, deportations, and generally improving economic conditions will affect things.
The last couple of months of special elections have seen an overall GOP over performance as well. (Does this mean something? Probably not.)

The Right wants to toss the illegals for various reasons...the most important being that they are illegal (in violation of the law). And, many have subsequent legal violations in this country and their country's of origin.
The Left want to apply the full spectrum of due process on each case to stall the deportations, overwhelm the court system, perhaps eek out a precedent negating the Right's position, while simutaneously having a Leftist activist judge disallow the current administration from fortifying the Immigration judge positions (temporarily) to expidite this due process position.

Absolutely.
Like they used to get riled up about the CEO of NBC having such a large salary that it was nearly 5% of what Ted Danson was paid for Cheers. When you compared it to the average stage worker, the CEO of NBC was paid WAY TOO MUCH!!
Which, again, was also ~1/20th of what Danson was making, having more day-to-day contact with those stage crew.
That's how stupid the American left is, they have compromised so much for so long that they no longer have any basis but "We want this."
Difference was Danson was donating to the DNC.

Due process of illegal immigrants is defined in the US code.
They get an administrative hearing in front of an immigration judge where they get a chance to present evidence that they belong here. Then...they're deported.
This is also where improperly picked up Americans can present a passport.
Interestingly enough, 70-80% of all illegals picked up sign a waiver of due process and are deported without seeing an immigration judge.

How well would a movie do with the premise of an individual who had lost everything because of the media and decided to systematically remove them by any means necessary? Would the left suddenly recoil and scream foul after culture suddenly made them a target? How would that make them feel? Would they pause and reflect on millions of gallons of blood on their hands? Would they consider for a second the immense damage to humanity they have caused?

They could not do that.
Devil's advocate-wise, I was against the deportation of Elon--also we have a history of accepting refugees from Cuba and thumbing our nose at dictator-for-life Castro.
Again, the Clinton administration buckled for dictator-for-life Castro.
And now they tell us Trump is too conciliatory to dictators. They have no memory of Obama waxing about how he would like the same powers as Xi.
Nope, it only matters because Trump has not hamstrung himself by burning bridges immediately with dictators. When what they really want is for Trump simply to hobble himself and get less done.

Dutch Progressives Forced 125 Young Students to Share a Hostel with 125 Migrants, Believing They Would "Learn from Each Other."
What Was Taught Was Mostly Stabbings and Rapes.
Another beautiful commingling with Cultural Enrichment Shock Troops.
Students were raped after being forced to live in complex alongside 125 refugees to 'aid integration': Terrified Dutch youngsters 'were subjected to years of sex assaults and violence' By PERKIN AMALARAJ, FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER
Terrified Dutch students made to live side-by-side with 125 refugees to aid their 'integration' were subjected to years of sexual assault and violence, an investigation has reported. Stek Oost, located in the Watergraafsmeer district of Amsterdam, was sold to the Netherlands as the dream solution to the housing and refugee crisis. A total of 125 students and 125 refugees would live alongside each other, and were even encouraged to 'buddy up' so the migrants would adapt to life in the Netherlands more quickly. But students living there told Dutch investigative documentary programme Zembla they faced multiple sexual assaults, harassment, violence, stalking and even claimed a gang rape had taken place. One woman said she would regularly see 'fights in the hallway and then again in the shared living room'. A man told the programme that a refugee threatened him with an eight-inch kitchen knife. And they claimed they were ignored despite filing multiple reports to authorities. In one shocking case, a former resident said that a Syrian raped her after inviting her to his room to watch a film then refusing to let her leave. The woman, identified only as Amanda, said: 'He wanted to learn Dutch, to get an education. I wanted to help him.'
Amanda described how he asked her several times to come to his room. She eventually relented and agreed to watch a film with him. However, he soon made her uncomfortable and she asked to leave, only for him to trap her in his room and sexually abuse her. Despite her filing a police report following the incident in 2019, police dropped the case due to a lack of evidence. But just six months later, another woman living in Stek Oost raised the alarm over the Syrian, telling the housing association that runs the complex that she was concerned for the safety of herself and other women living there. But the local authority, which had set up the arrangement, claimed it was impossible for the man to be evicted, the Zembla documentary claims. It was only when he was formally arrested in March 2022 that he left the student-refugee complex. He was later convicted of raping Amanda and another resident, and was sentenced to just three years in prison in 2024. ... In another horrifying case reported by the programme, Stadgenoot, the firm that runs the complex, suspected a 'gang rape' took place in one of its flats the summer of 2023.
And the police just couldn't find any evidence of any crimes. I think I've heard this story before.
Police told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf that while it was not aware of any gang rape taking place on the premises, it did say it had received seven reports of sexual assault. Since opening in 2018, Stek Oost has faced multiple similar allegations. In 2022, Dutch TV station AT5 reported that a refugee had been accused of six sex attacks between 2018 and 2021.Via Steve Turley, who notes the distinct similarities to the Rotherdam Rape Gangs and police and government accomplices.
He was involved in a protracted legal battle with local authorities, who fought to force him to leave Stek Oost. For its part, Stadgenoot wanted to shut the complex down as early as 2023, but the local authority refused.
And speaking of the Netherlands: Trans lunatics fleeing Trump's Genocide have wound up in dirty refugee camps in the Netherlands. Along with Muslim "refugees." Where I'm sure they're being treated with the level of respect and deference they demand.
Americans who fled to the Netherlands in a bid to escape the Trump administration are now living in filthy refugee camps, it has emerged. According to Dutch immigration authorities, 76 US citizens claimed asylum in the country last year, a significant increase from the nine that did in 2024. Many of those who have left are transgender or parents to transgender children and are housed in the 'queer block' of an overcrowded camp in the northern village of Ter Apel, The Guardian reported. The camp, which resembles a prison, has guards stationed at every gate and offers less than desirable amenities. Residents have complained that the tiny college-dorm-like rooms they are provided are covered in graffiti, with some alleging that they suspect bodily fluids have been smeared on the walls. Asylum seekers are permitted to leave the camp, but must be present for daily bed checks. They are also given a small allowance so they can purchase food and cook meals in the communal kitchen. Many of the American refugees are transgender and are seeking asylum after allegedly being victims of hostility and discrimination in their home states. But the Dutch ministry of asylum and migration has so far deemed that the alleged mistreatment of the LGBTQ community in the US is not grounds for refugee status, according to The World.I totally believe all of these things happened.
... Elliot Hefty, 37, a transgender man seeking asylum in the Netherlands, claimed he decided to move after being attacked in the middle of a Kentucky street. He told the World how a man pushed him to the ground during a lunchtime walk and yelled slurs at him, as 'I was left alone bleeding in the middle of the street.' He also alleged that he was removed from his client-facing role with Medicaid after Trump assumed office, claiming that 'brown and visibly queer folks' are now only allowed to work in administration roles. The Daily Mail was not able to independently verify Hefty's allegation but has contacted Medicaid for comment. The 37-year-old further claimed that he was denied service at shops with owners saying that 'my "tranny money" was no good here.' Actor and visual artist Veronica Clifford Carlos, 28, flew to Amsterdam in June last year to seek asylum after receiving daily death threats in San Francisco. San Diego resident Jane Michelle Arc, 47, painted a similar picture, alleging that she was 'getting punched or pushed or shoved every single week' while walking the city streets. Arc moved to the Netherlands in April after having been hospitalized for assault.
Gayle Carter-Stewart, who moved her transgender teen Nox to the country from Montana last April, said their asylum application was 'automatically rejected because America is considered a safe country of origin' Ashe Wilde, 40, fled Massachusetts, which she admitted is 'one of the most liberal states' and a place where officials are working to 'preserve our identities across the queer spectrum.' But she was still physically and verbally attacked in her community, telling the Guardian how she was dubbed a 'pedo and a groomer.'

What does "made to" mean?
"Do it or go to prison?"
"Do it or lose your housing subsidy?"
"Do it or lose your place in the university?"
"Do it or we'll be super unhappy with you?"
That could mean a lot of things. Any government that uses coercion to sacrifice its young people deserves what it gets, but I am curious about what "made to" means here.

Unless you learn the lesson from that scenario that human life is mostly futile. Then, it doesn't matter. It minimized the cost, for the dream that it will all work.
But then they would be functional nihilists selling ideals that they don't really believe in. So conmen and charlatans, getting people killed and raped for their schemes.

The true meaning of Avatar is Gaia is a bitch, neglected her children and the children had to grow up hard.

That's precisely why previous generations killed animals who successfully killed people.
Because those animals found out how easy it is, and that's not how you stay at the top of the food chain.
Western countries who wish to survive would do well to relearn those lessons.

That's why I examined the plot details and came up with the alternate message.
Gaia gave us shit before we developed any technology. She just wanted to watch her soaps and talk on the phone with other planet goddesses.

If you hate the romance, well, the second half is one of the best mass destruction sequences in film.
And I...tolerate the romance. It's...fine. Dialogue is weirdly modern and its cliched, but it's...fine.
And then the ship sinks for 90 minutes!

I myself, confess to having led many, many, many torch carrying mobs to the homes of these people.

Cameron keeps talking like he's not going to make a 4th, but the 3rd did make enough money to keep going.
But...there are obvious diminishing returns. 3 isn't going to make as much as 2 which didn't makes as much as 1. We're still talking $1.3 billion for the 3rd (it is a good profit), but if the 4th costs as much and shrinks again...that's not profit anymore.
He says he needs to either figure out how to make the 4th cheaper or make something else.

You don't realize just how different Americans are from Europeans until something like this pops up. Somewhere, within those "years of sex assaults and violence" a brother, father, friend or even the "victim" themselves would have taken "positive steps to resolve the situation". They wouldn't have had to remove the Syrian, because he would have already been removed and scattered to the crows.
This is mindboggling. Why just take it? Where are the parents in this scenario? How is it that every time there is a knife attack in Europe, Europeans run away from the perpatrator. No where is this more apparent (the difference) than in that French train attack where all the French ran for cover and 3 American kids took down the terrorist.

I'm not saying they're wrong. I just don't...get them in this specific instance. It can be empty, but it's fun.
I think a parallel would be Poseidon. Fully empty, pure spectacle. I don't think it's good, but I enjoy the spectacle.

Progs just want to make sure that crimes against their ideals are punished harder. Thus, we have "hate crimes".
The 20th-century liberal view (actually "socialist" by Robert Owen's original meaning) is that *crime* will never be fixed until we (completely) "fix society first". So, they tend to shy away from punishing "the victim of society's dysfunction."
Owen believe that "society" and only "society" was to blame for everything bad that happened. Hence “social-ism”", which Marx appropriated and changed. People like James Lindsay may argue that "liberalism" is completely apart from "socialism", but anybody who was alive in the 20th century can't help but notice that there was a strong undercurrent of Owen's "socialism" in 20th-century liberal politics.
It was Owen's New Harmony commune (1820s) that Marx (1850s) was working out how to get to in a way where we could stay "In the final age of History", when he called that stage "Communism".
So the progressive family waffles on violent crime.

Christianity--or the Holy Spirit--was the brains behind Western Civilization. The "White Race" just describes people through whom it worked.
Europe is post-Christian, so it is as dumb and suicidal as dumb can be.
It takes the lore of self-criticism which comes from Christianity, and simply cargo cults it. It is bizarre because there is only a semblance of thought behind it.
But much of it was mainly about Michel Foucault warping his society so he could dream about a society where he could fuck teenage boys. Foucault served "Critical Theory", so Critical Theory became more Foucault-ed up.
Europe, I should think, no longer believes that it is anything but men agreeing on things. So, the common proxy-nihilist doesn't feel he has any ground to stand on to demand more.

Thus, Eywa decided to prevent the Navi from ever uprising against "her" again by forbidding them to proceed out of stone-age technology and made them more dependent on "her" via the organic USB-thingies.

A teacher can't even suggest having a chess club at school because 30% of the kids like making the infidel dance on their puppet strings. Some muslim scholars say it's HARAM (not all). So the proper solution is to re-iterate that the chess club is voluntary, join or not as you wish. But the British solution is obviously fire the teacher who uttered this forbidden, islamophobic wrongthink.

The Titanic Exhibit was also at the Columbia (SC) State Museum around that time and we went to see it. I also got a passenger name and story at the end. The exhibit was very good. There was one area where you could still smell the perfume of one of the bottles that were found.

______________________
Got a Titanic movie question for you. Was the dialogue in that film the absolute worst or was it my imagination.
Example: Jack and Rose are stuck in a lower cabin while water starts pouring in. They are supposed to have rushed, panic type dialogue....and both of them keep using the other's name in each and every line. It was ridiculous.
"Jack!!! The water is coming in."
"I know, Rose. I see it."
"What are we going to do, Jack?"
"I don't know, Rose. I'm thinking."
"Think faster, Jack."
"Give me a sec, Rose."
Made up the lines, of course. But, it was the least realistic dialogue imaginable. It took me right out of the movie.

For all of Cameron's obsession with recreation, that he didn't get someone else in to rewrite the dialogue mystifies me.

While I never fully bought in to that line of politics, I at least believed they believed that. And they weren't students of Gramsci trying to march through and capture institutions with the popular sentiment.
It's sardonically funny that that side of politics complains about the way that the "right" tries to stir up furor to advance their politics.
That was practically the only move 20th-century Democrats had. And it goes way back to the hyperbolic "Cross of Gold" speech of William Jennings Bryan.
I remember when somebody recommended I read that speech. It was a predecessor of reading the Pee-pee dossier.
What? If you don't make a policy shift away from the gold standard you're like crucifying people?!

Cutscene 1:
In 1912, there is a noble American girl - Rose, she
tried to get away from her arranged married which is
forced by her mother. At the same time, she met Jack. who is the young man on Titenic. Since Rose made a friend with Jack, he lighted on her life. They were also fall in love with each other. It made up a very touching
and tragic love story.
Cutscene 2:
Rose did not love her finance - Carl and she just wanted to suicide to finish it. Fortunately, Jack just saved her. They were both very fond of each other. Thus, Carl was very jealous and dislikes Jack. He tried to insult Jack and he hold a dinner party to thank Jack for save Rose.
Actually, Carl did not really mean it, he just had a chance to challenge Jack. Wisely Jack knew about Carl's
plan, he left this party and brought Rose together to join the party which is belong to the workers. Of course,
Carl hates Jack very much.

The Titenic had sunk, Although Rose and Jack got away from the Titenic, they could not reach the life boat. Finally, Jack scarified himself to save Rose and tell
her be stronger in her future's life. Then, he was dead in the cold Atlantic Ocean.
When this accident happened, there were one thousand and five hundred passengers fell into the ocean, and only six lucky passengers survived. It was a very low chance to survive. Then, there were seven hundred passengers who were in the life boat, they just

Leftists also think there’s a high speed train network crisis crossing Europe. Why you can go from Barcelona to Munich in 2 hours flat!!! Why can’t we have that here I want a train from ny to La in 5 hours.
Uhm no. Thats not how it works. High speed trains exist for short distances in Europe. Like Paris to Lyon. Or Barcelona to Madrid. Barcelona to Munich doesn’t exist. People fly that just like they do in evil America.

Damn! That is SHOCKING and you are apparently correct [insert broken-heart Emoji here; per Brave "AI"]:
"Jim Caviezel will not reprise his role as Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson’s sequel The Resurrection of the Christ, despite having been originally set to return. The film, scheduled for release in two parts in 2027, will feature a completely new cast, with Jaakko Ohtonen cast as Jesus and Mariela Garriga as Mary Magdalene. Caviezel, who played Jesus in the 2004 original, was reported to be replaced in October 2025 due to scheduling conflicts and the need for digital de-aging effects. Although Caviezel had expressed enthusiasm for returning in 2025 and was listed in early IMDB records, the role was recast, and production has since moved forward with new actors."

They shouldn't have been surprised. The Netherlands had concentration camps that they ran for the Nazis. My step-dad grew up in Amersfoort and one of the camp sites was a couple of blocks away. He was proud to be Dutch (and a transplanted American conservative death beast), but not for that chapter in the country's history.

I find movies that make religion obvious and literal to be uncompelling.
The first half is the search for truth we cannot see. The second half is, "Here's the literal truth in plain detail." I just don't find it compelling.
I was also watching all of Tarkovsky's movies at the time, and Tarkovsky is all, "God is silence but very real and we have to find meaning in that," which I do find very compelling.

Wow. That's really hard to say. On the one hand Rose was an unfaithful self-centered bitch who backstabbed everyone around her, despite having an apparently privileged upbringing. Jenny strung Forrest along for decades while banging assholes, contracting AIDS, then dumping a kid of unestablished paternity on him right before she dies. However she was also a drug addict and severely fucked up from being sexually abused by her own father. So she was damaged from the get-go. Doesn't excuse her but explains her behavior.
I think Rose ekes out the victory in the end because she fucked people over because she could. Jenny fucked people over because she was supremely damaged.

The naivete of the 125 natives who thought they could teach the cultural enrichers to assimilate is not surprising. Especially after I read the do-gooders in the UK offering bedrooms to the barbarians who pretended to be teens. Some were surprised to find they SA their teen girls, and later dentists and x-rays proved their age. I was stunned at this stupidity years ago.
I guess they expected it all to be wonderful vs rapes and barbarians cooking kitty cats on stoves in the livingroom.
Granted, I lived with two strange white grad students in my junior year of college. They were already in the basement apt and the landlady put me there as a favor to my ex-friend. They were psych grad students with girlfriends and I guess I was lucky. I did meet them before they came back to class and they seemed fine (I am a terrific judge of character). And were wonderful to their new baby sister and protective. I had my own bedroom and bath and we shared the kitchen (groceries), rent and utilities and it was good.
Stupid people.

Jack Smith Defends His Indefensible Political Witch-Hunt; Even CNN's Legal Analyst Admits Smith Is Guilty
C3Brandon Gill grilled Jack Smith on three points: 1, why he had sought the phone records of the incoming Speaker of the House, extending back a year, when he had just become speaker 16 days earlier. This makes it look very much look like a purely political witch-hunt, as Johnson did not have power to run interference for Trump before hand. 2, why he sought these phone records in defiance of a warning from a Biden attorney that doing so would be a violation of the Speech and Debate Clause. (A clause which says that no member of Congress shall be subject to legal process for any statement they make in Congress (later extended to cover any statement they make outside of Congress, so long as it's part of their work as a congressman.) 3, why he claimed that Mike Johnson was a "flight risk" when he told Johnson's phone company to hide the fact that his records had been granted to a third party. Jack Smith claimed that keeping this secret was necessary to make sure that Johnson did not take flight from prosecution. He now admits that Johnson was no flight risk.
@C_3C_3 Want your blood to boil? The Jack Smith Investigation cost taxpayers over $35 million. $35,000,000 All based on a scam. Targeting enemies. With 65% of that $35million paying their salaries. Jack and his team got rich for sedition.
Jack Smith is asking to have questions re-asked because each congresman only has five minutes total time, and he wants to waste as much Republican time as possible endlessly repeating and clarifying questions.
Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson If you watch one moment from Jack Smith's testimony in Congress today, watch him get reduced to a stuttering, stammering mess when confronted with his own LIES: GILL: "The subpoena covered the time period between November 2020 and January 2021. Is that right?" SMITH: "Uh, I'm sorry, sir, could you say that again?" GILL: "We're not gonna delay like this."
GILL: "How many days after Kevin McCarthy was sworn in as Speaker did you subpoena his records? SMITH: "Uh, I don't recall, but those two things had nothing to do with one another." GILL: "It was 16 days after becoming the highest ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, you subpoenaed his toll records. Do you agree that that might reasonably be considered a violation of the Speech or Debate Clause?" SMITH: "Uh, I do not" GILL: "At the time you, you secured those non-disclosure orders, was Speaker McCarthy a flight risk?" SMITH: "He was not." GILL: "He was not. Then why did your non-disclosure order refer to him as a flight risk? It says right here, 'The court finds reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result in flight from prosecution.' You were using clearly false information to secure a non-disclosure order to hide from Speaker McCarthy and from the American people the fact that you were spying on his toll records."

Right. So what's the point, exactly?
Publicity and referrals. Not consequences. Consequences are not ever the desired outcome. It's one of the reasons I have a hard time caring about congressional investigations or the associated dog-and-pony shows. When it does an "investigation," Congress is either providing a pretext for an eager DoJ to target political enemies, or it is putting a show for the rubes knowing full well the DoJ ain't going to pursue it.

Oh, it's all theater.
But, just because there's theater doesn't mean that the DOJ isn't doing anything.
DOJ is a black box until it files things in court, and most people don't track those filings anyway.
Yeah, this is a sideshow, but it's just a sideshow that I've become inured to. It elicits no emotion from me. I'm not sure why ace covers it, to be honest, but I'm not gonna get riled up about it either way.

I mean, how can you make a Light Cycle chase through the streets of real San Francisco be boring? That takes talent! Film students should study Tron Ares for generations to come.
The script was dogshit and made little sense. Among other things, I couldn't figure out why the movie thought anyone would give a shit which tech bro got the McGuffin. I sure didn't.
The woke casting was also annoying, but oddly the best character was Athena and the best acting was the black girl who played her. The main white guy -- Jared Leto -- was boring and miscast.
The film did have really good sound design and use of Atmos, though. The sounds whipped around and above me like I was there in the scene.

Look at all the programs Democrats were using as straw men to launder money back to their party.
We are talking about trillions. It’s a level of subversion and corruption that’s staggering.

Conservatives were thrilled that Smith was finally getting "grilled," "exposed," etc and that the Republicans asked such insightful and biting questions.
It made me harken back to the days when Gowdy and company would ask such clever and biting questions, and all the clever and biting questions that Republican Congressmen have asked of Democrat ne'er-do-wells in these hearings over the past 20 years.
Wow. Exciting and biting. And no one ever goes to jail. Ever.

The movie was Leto's baby. He produced it. The main producer of the film bent everything at Disney to get it made at that budget because he loves Leto so much.
After Morbius bombed.
Jared Leto is the fakest movie star today, and that includes Zendaya.

Yea, but I'd fuck Zendaya. I wouldn't fuck Jared Leto.
The project was in development for 15 years, and feels it. I think they quickly re-wrote the script in light of the AI hysteria, but it doesn't really work.
I also swear the Korean girl was originally supposed to be an AI construct herself. She talks and even moves so oddly (and woodenly) that I thought the big reveal at the end was going to be that she was an AI model of her dead sister. That would at least have been better than what we got.

Another way to look at it is from Smith's and his backers' POV - namely, the high-risk, high-reward plan. If the SOB was successful, DJT is off the board, the GOP is in total disarray, Harris and Walz glide in and destroy what's left of the country. And that $35M was on the taxpayers' dime to boot.

Now, what if it wasn't Trump?

Say, just a concerned citizen who went to a rally in DC to protest election irregularities--as hundreds of thousands of Democrats have done after every election of a Republican after 2000.
And you saw armed police officers open the doors of the Capital.
And chatting and joking with people as they walked by.
So you walked in as well.
And 3 months later found FBI agents at your door to arrest you.
And throw you in solitary confinement in DC for the next 3 years.
You're not a billionaire.
You're not Trump.
It's not Trump they are after--it is you.

And they brought the full force, weight and power of the entire federal government to bear on nobodies for non-crimes.

It’s one reason no sane decent people want to get involved in politics. There is a selection process involved, and those that are selected are usually the worst sort of people, who have no business running anything.

They just expected the gambit to work and for Biden to get reelected, and later for Kamala to prevail (in part because of the "prosecution" against Trump).
The only thing that got in the way was the actual election (that didn't go according to plan) which - had the outcome been otherwise - would have buried these crimes for all time.

Ugly women have been getting married, occupying a social circle, having children and living life since the dawn of time. They don't get movie star roles, but then neither do most people.
People like Dworkin would have been employed and dripping poison into the ears of youth if they pleased anyway, as schoolteachers if nothing else, long before feminism existed. That many feminists are also ugly is beside the point and uglier women will probably gravitate to it because it confers unearned power, influence and privilege more easily than the alternatives - but that is an effect, not a cause.

An congressional hearing is never "necessary." Congress cannot prosecute. If the administration has all that, it can prosecute if it pleases - and if it can get Mr. Hammond Egger to actually do the work.
Congressional hearings and investigations are theater. Such theater *can* serve a psychological purpose, but it serves no practical or essential purpose.

All they do is embolden Democrats because they clearly see that, over and over again, even if their illegal activities are exposed before the whole world, nothing will happen to them.
In fact, if they perform well enough for a day or two before the committees, they are awarded with Democrat Lotal Hero status and can cash in writing books or getting a spot with a left-wing news outlet.
Just like whem an Antifa member caught on tape committing assault and let off by a liberal judge - the only thing it accomplishes is reinforcing their knowledge that, if they are on the right political side, they can get away with murder.

INSURRECTION: Democrat Arizona AG Kris Mayes Says Citizens Can Shoot ICE Agents
AG Kris Mayes, Arizona’s top law enforcement official, sparked national outrage after publicly declaring citizens could shoot masked federal ICE agents and later shrug it off as “just the law.”
In a televised interview, Mayes warned that Arizona’s Stand Your Ground statute could justify lethal force against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers if residents claim they felt threatened—effectively normalizing the idea of armed confrontations with federal agents.

Congress refers to DoJ.
Same outcome. Pile another charge onto the referral or don't. It ultimately gets prosecuted by someone else, if that someone else can be bothered.
You should stick to posting Thirst Bait.
The Doompilling here is unneccesary. Testimony is like a switch in a rail line. Once you pass the switch, you are locked into your course.

The NY Times Researches Where American-Born Roofers Went, but Can’t Put the Obvious Puzzle Pieces Together
First, construction jobs became less desirable, as eroding wages and working conditions diminished the quality and job security of the profession.Why did the wages erode? Why did working conditions erode?
Only then did immigrants, with the encouragement of the political and business class, fill a gap that was already opening.The sequence of “immigrants” taking those jobs seems to be out of order. By hiring off-the-books “immigrants” at below market wages, construction jobs became less desirable.
Most of those foreign-born workers are not naturalized citizens, and many lack permanent legal status. That leaves an industry of 6.8 million workers particularly vulnerable to President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort.Translation: There are up to 6.8 million poorly paid illegal aliens working construction jobs in the U.S.
Builders are reporting labor shortages as some workers are detained or deported and others stay home amid immigration raids.If only there was another potential labor pool aside from non-citizens who are in this country illegally…
When [Matthew] Moore started his career, unionized construction was a good living, especially for workers without a college degree. In 1973, a quarter of workers were unionized, and in construction it was 40%. But those numbers were already starting to decline.I spent much of my life criticizing unions, but my gripe was always when unions wanted high compensation for not working (e.g. early retirement with benefits, idled workers getting paid, etc). I never begrudged them wanting good compensation for the work they performed. But if union labor was too expensive, the alternative was to offer competitive non-union jobs. Instead, the construction industry chose to pursue illegal foreign labor that was well below-non-union construction wages.
What was happening in California was happening across the country, both in states with a strong union presence, such as Illinois, Massachusetts and New York, and those that prohibited mandatory union membership — “right to work” states such as Arizona, Florida and Texas where the population, and housing production, was booming.Yep. It wasn’t about the unions. Non-unionized construction workers were displaced too.
And with that decline in union strength came a decline in the economic standing for both union and nonunion workers. In 1973, the average union construction worker made $1.71 for every $1 the average American worker earned hourly. Today, unionized construction workers earn $1.15 for every $1 an average worker earns. And nonunion construction workers make just 86 cents for every dollar earned by the average American worker, often without health or retirement benefits.Not only did construction pay effectively get halved by replacing Americans with “immigrants,” but it is well understood that the current system provides layers of contracting to deflect accountability for the inherent illegality of the construction labor system.
[Mariano] Martinez had arrived in the United States on the cusp of a major immigration boom. Workers interviewed for this article who crossed illegally during that period described a southern border that was more porous, even as barriers were going up. With the help of smugglers, many managed to get across on foot or in vehicles. In a common practice that continues today, builders avoided knowingly hiring workers lacking permanent legal status by keeping laborers off their payrolls and instead hiring subcontractors or labor brokers who employed the workers.And again, it’s not just the pay, it’s also the lack of benefits and worker protections. Illegal laborers have no rights and no ability to redress illegal exploitation.
By then, the high demand for housing and fewer worker protections had led to tough working conditions. For Mario, 47, who first came to the United States in 1997 from Morelia, Mexico, as a teenager, roofing paid better than picking cucumbers and bell peppers, but it wasn’t easy. Mario was an adult by the time he started roofing, but many roofers living in the country illegally are minors, doing one of the deadliest jobs in the country usually without health insurance.Illegal minors working off the books without health insurance is an extremely disturbing thing that has been accepted by “pro-immigration” Democrats and “pro-business” Republicans. There is no amount of empathy or profit that mitigates this level of exploitation. Yet builders still feel that they are paying too much…
Immigrants who held onto their jobs say they have seen no meaningful wage gains in decades, and are still making today what they made before the Great Recession.There is much more along these same lines, focusing on the current shortage of construction workers, but I’ve extracted enough to make the point. To fill that construction labor shortage, here’s an idea - how about once again hiring legal Americans at wages that can provide for a home and a family. If new home prices go up a little, so be it. But remember, home prices never went down when builders started subcontracting out to illegal labor at extremely low wages. Roofing used to provide a career wage, and was heavily unionized in some places. As you read this piece, it becomes quite clear why unions held appeal to American roofers. Illegal laborers cannot object to unsafe conditions, no benefits, and no labor laws to abide by. If the alternative to unionized labor is off-the-books, illegal labor, then unions are the ethical choice. But those don’t need to be the only options. There is a third option – hire legitimate, legal, non-union, American labor. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

If the non-union free agent costs you 80% of the union guy, you'll use him rather than the union guy.
If the illegal alien indenture costs you 40% of the non-union guy, you'll use him rather than either of the other guys.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at January 23, 2026 11:05 AM (GyQIQ)
That's a part, but also I think a smaller part. The real reason is that competition forces all businesses to adopt very similar if not identical strategies, especially for the "cost" side of the business.
If there are three roofing companies operating in an area, and one of them decides to cut labor costs by hiring illegals, then that one has a substantial competitive advantage over the other two. It will be able to outbid the other two.
Those two -- even if they are otherwise patriotic and want to hire Americans -- will have no choice but to also cut labor costs, or else they will go out of business. So they too hire illegals. Now all three are hiring illegals.

Two things.
1. There is no such thing as a shortage, only a bad price.
2. Most of the raids are *not* targeting illegals who are keeping their heads down and working. I think those guys should be a part of the action, but right now, they are largely not. A lot of them are "self-deporting" just in case, and that was predictable as the sunrise.

I don't have any problem with union wages declining wrt nonunion wages. Unions are legal extortion and represent no added value, in fact they usually detract value. That is not to say that those jobs should be filled by illegals without benefits and who often don't pay taxes, but let's not pretend that union workers are saints.
From what I've seen, the guys who put roofs on houses now work twice as hard as the union guys.
To fill that construction labor shortage, here’s an idea - how about once again hiring legal Americans at wages that can provide for a home and a family.
How about we kick out the illegals, and then let the market determine the level at which their labor is fairly compensated.

Now I'm sure there is a labor shortage, and it can't be quickly solved just be restoring wages working conditions.
The whole 'cheap labor' to me was a way to artificially inflate the lifestyle for mid-level white collar folks. They could eat out more often and have a bigger house than the value of their work warranted because of bringing any the illegals.

This is, I think, probably a pretty bad (low-resolution) way of looking at things. What is the "average worker?" He doesn't exist. It averages in so many things that the result is largely meaningless. How much is the union tradesman making today in real dollars vs. forty years ago? How about the non-union tradesman? How about the white collar private-sector employee? How about the government employee?
Yes, trade wages have probably come down in real terms, but so did most of the others.

My thought on that was great they’re fast. But how good is the quality? Probably not very good. I kinda don’t care because I don’t expect to be in this house for too long. The roof was at the point it was leaking all over the place and I had no choice but to replace it, I knew that when I bought the house.

Where I used to live, the owner and office staff might be American but you would not hear a single word of English out of the crews.
Where I live now, it's Americans top to bottom at some of the roofers I've interacted with, and a mix elsewhere. Same for lawn guys, tree guys, HVAC guys, plumbers and electricians.
And the price is not radically different. It's often lower because region is very much a thing. Would my HVAC system total cost have been cheaper if the HVAC outfit used illegals? Probably - but probably not by all that much.
Our country has been sold out for probably 5%-10% of the end purchaser dollar.

^^^^That's the way forward.
And I don't feel like unions add much of value, but even the union labor usage rate would go up IF there were no longer illegal workers available. Its supply and demand--if we want rising wages, we have to kick out the illegals, and thus reduce the "supply" of labor.

This is where we get in to trouble. I want my roof fixed for the best price. The transaction shouldn't involve any consideration of the career prospects of a roofer - that's his business. If he doesn't get what he thinks is a fair price, he shouldn't do the job. Obviously he wants more, but I don't recall the last time a roofer expressed concern about me and my career and how it's compensated.

In Califzuela beginning in the 80s (thanks to Reagan's Amnesty), the labor unions were PRO-OPEN BORDERS and PRO-ILLEGAL ALIENS.
It was astonishing that the leadership was selling out their American members for cheaper labor. In hindsight, they were likely in the pockets of The Cartels (in addition of course to the Democrat-Communist Party here).

The Second Law: Anything that appears to contradict the First Law has to have an alternate explanation, however implausible. Or...it's just a mystery, just like there was no way to stop illegal immigration until there was.
The Real Law: Things like this are the way they are because somewhere there's BIG MONEY that wants it that way.

I respectfully disagree with that. In my experience, at least in home building, union labor had standards to meet that the new crop of builders don't come close to reaching. I have problems with unions, but I do believe that their build quality was higher. It might just be that everyone's quality has decreased in the same time frame, but current construction is pretty lousy.

I checked to see what the cumulative compounded rate of inflation -- including housing, energy, and food (CPI-U) -- since 2013 (when I started) has been over the past 13 years: it's approaching 40%.
I've had to beg for a couple of raises in the past and am making only about 15% more than when I started; and if I ask for and am given a 20% raise now, I will still be making comparably less than I did when I started 13 years ago.
Thanks DogEater and F. Joe Mugabe!

Modern cars and trucks don’t need the routine adjustment, maintenance & repair the old school iron did. Alternators, Fuel injection, and Electronic Ignition mainly. Electronic engine controls.
God help you, though, if you do need work. There is no room to work, half the engine must be disassembled to get at anything. Huge labor costs.
Engine diagnostics have changed remarkably little in 100 years. Any modern mechanic would do well to read the trouble shooting and tune up info from the 1920s.
Everything is exactly the same, except with a whole bunch of electronic and computer stuff in between. One thing that makes for a good mechanic is pattern recognition. “I’ve seen this before…” and makes a connection. It is a science for sure, but there is an art to it as well.
The most useful tool I learned to trust was the vacuum gauge. “Measure, don’t guess!” (No jokes, ladies)

Probably a multi-variable problem from labor skill to materials to development model.
But when I was shopping for a house, I gave my realtor only three hard and fast rules. Everything else (number of bedrooms, does it have natgas, etc.) was negotiable. I had a long list of "nice to haves" but the list of "must haves" was very short:
- No HOA
- No pool
- Built before 1990

I would argue that unions are okay provided that the government plays neutral referee. Then the union is required to act as a foil for the worst impulses of management but must still be reasonable.
Once you add laws making union membership mandatory, no replacing striking workers, and politicians/agencies coming in on the side of the union without need... unions become (more) corrupt and everything starts to fail.

This generally didn't happen in my neighborhood because you always had somebody who wanted to show off their new snow blower by using it on the entire neighborhood.
And even before that, parents in my neighborhood didn't want their children bothering other adults. You might see kids doing their _own_ driveways and sidewalks, but never anyone else's.

Sooner or later, someone will figure out how to automate roofing; I'd guess within the next 10-15 years. Roofing is probably not a long term career, to say nothing of the fact that your body wears out.

Roofing has changed drastically in the last 40 years. Just do a quick google search. Materials are better, more modular, installation equipment is MUCH better (cordless power tools, etc), and many houses have simpler roof designs.

If management are scumbags, the union will be even scummier. If management is decent to their labor, the union will be decent too.
It can be a nice little symbiosis if everyone doesn't have their head up their ass. Usually isn't. But it can be.

That's true. Do you know what else I never saw while I was doing roofing? A female roofer.

This. Do illegal roofers payed in hard cash pay income taxes. And cry me a river about no medical benefits. They show up in an ER, they'll be treated for free; so no expense there. Vacation time? Just quit for a couple of weeks and come back. And most of us should no they pay for no insurance, liability or otherwise and get off scot free if they're in an accident.

We had our shingled roof replaced a year ago with a metal roof by a local business which has been around for decades and has a good reputation (and they did a fine job).
While the management were Americans, the laborers were all illegals (I objected on those grounds alone, but the wifey was insistent and correctly pointed out it was likely the status quo in all the local roofing businesses). It was a very physically demanding (and costly!) endeavor. Took them more than a week to complete -- and cost us around $65k.
At least it will outlive us now ...

People say they hate Walmart because it kills small
businesses. By and large, this is true, Walmart will generally have greater choice, longer hours and lower prices than a locally operated retail store.
But it really isn't Walmart that closes small businesses, it's the fact that you would rather save a buck on your dog food than buy from the local pet store operator. You'd rather save $50 on a television, than shop at the local electronics store. The consumer makes the conscious decision to choose their own financial considerations over supporting local retail. You aren't forced to go to Walmart, you choose to go to Walmart, and then eventually you are actually forced to go to
Walmart.
The same goes for roofing. Nobody sees the truckload of Spics show up to roof their house, gets on the phone with the contractor that bid the job, and says "Absolutely not, get these Spics outta my yard".
If they did, you wouldn't have wetbacks taking over. But you just can't resist that price and that speed anymore than the contractor can.

We had several neighbors get their roofs replaced via insurance owing to hail damage.
Wifey had an insurance adjuster come out to see if we could do the same, but although a little damage was likely caused by hail -- it was not sufficient to be covered by our policy.

The thing is that that is EXACTLY what labor unions evolved into doing, as their essential function. They wholly abandoned even the lip service to standards and ethics that the lawyers and doctors at least claimed to support.

This is the primary problem with illegal labor (and outsourced labor, too). The sticker price isn't the actual price, because your tax dollars are subsidizing it. We exported inflation to the third world and are paying for it in welfare benefits. If we successfully get rid of illegal aliens and reimport manufacturing, our sticker prices will go up, but our taxes and government debt will go down.

Nobody will work hard labor if they can soak up “benefits” and smoke weed all day.
There is a byzantine system of welfare and perverse incentives. The problem now of course, is the millions of illegals pouring across the border in recent decades discovered they don’t need to work either.

Half of the labor pool is by definition less skilled than the other, about the median. If only above-median workers can be hired, you'll have 50% unemployment.
Posted by: gp at January 23, 2026 11:18 AM (N8ZBc)
Not quite. A fair number of those below-median workers will look for work in some other field, where the median is a lot lower.
One thing that I've noticed is that wages tend to be static if you stay with the same company/industry. Yay, I got a 2% raise this year! If your raise doesn't exceed the inflation rate at the time, your company is just patting you on the head and expecting that you'll slob the CEO's knob for your 4% DECREASE in purchasing power.
You want to get ahead of your dead-end job? Move to another industry, jump ship to another firm, or start your own company. Tough to do, and it doesn't always work, but that's the only way you'll make real gains unless you have some sort of high-end professional education in a field with licensing to restrict entry.
Or you could start your own Somali day care...

When we built the new house a few years ago, the roofing crew was Amish from up in Kansas. They were amazing acrobats as well as quick. I did not check their citizenship, although they had their own language.
The young concrete crew, on the other hand… well, also had their own lingua. They did do a muy bueno job. The old boss, at least, used to work for my grandfather back in the last century. I assumed he was 'Merican.

I wonder how much of that is from people replacing their roofs every 18 months via insurance. Yo, homie, insurance will pay us 12K so the price is 12K.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic
Insurance is similar to government intervention in that it masks the true cost of things, because the person getting the product or service is not directly paying for it. Without clear sight of the actual cost, it is easy for prices to get out of control. Look at the fastest rising costs; medical, autos, housing, college. All of these are impacted by at least part of the costs being disguised in some way.

Y'know, you could just win the roofing lottery.
Years ago, a friend of mine came home from work to find that a roofing crew was about half-way through putting in a new roof on her place. They'd gone to the wrong house. She jumped back in her car and spent the next couple of days with her boyfriend.
Roofing company tried to get her to pay full rate, she told them to go pound sand, because they didn't have a single signature from her. Someone had to have been SOOOOO fired after that one.
She settled on paying for materials, but not a penny for the labor.

Naproxen (Aleve) is recommended for gout. I've been using it for years with good results You need to use a big initial dose since it has advanced. Take it with a glass of milk or a light meal.
Standard dose: 750 mg initially, then 250 mg every 8 hours until pain subsides.
(Or 500 mg twice daily)
Assuming you don't have any liver or kidney issues.

If an employ got off of the ground ie. roof framing, roof sheeting, roofing, etc my worker's compensation insurance was a dollar to dollar cost. If I paid my employee $25 per hour my worker's comp was another $25 per hour so the basic cost was $50 per hour then there was unemployment insurance, Social Security, ad infinitum.
Last year I had a friend who is an extremely old and fussy roofer do a thirteen square house with thirty year architectural shingles (not three tab twenty year). The total job cost was right at $7,000.
Material prices had nearly doubled in the last year.
I paid my friend, as the lead man, $50 per hour and hired a great helper for him at $40 per hour. I hauled the old shingles to the landfill.
The project took longer than I had estimated.because there was some sheeting that needed replaced that I had not expected (1/2" plywood for roof sheeting is now $40 a sheet) plus did I mention that my friend is old and fussy about his work?
I got a great roof using non-union labor, supported the local economy and helped my buddy pay his bills.

Aaron Bohrod (1907–1992)
AI Overview - Landscape Near Chicago (1934) is an oil painting by American Regionalist artist Aaron Bohrod, currently held in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art. The artwork reflects the Depression-era loneliness and urban, industrial decay of Chicago's landscape during that period.
I don't think I'd hang this painting but I don't intensely dislike it either. (The detailing is very good, well planned.)
It could be many places in Pennsylvania presently, including some fairly close "neighbors." 😣

I got a quote from them last week - a decent one, given the insane premiums smaller buyers are charging. A day later, they wrote to say they could not honor this quote ($7500), because they were increasing their minimum purchase from $1K to $10k.
It's getting wild out there, folks.

I've watched them do so many heel turns it makes my head spin. They're like whirling dervishes.
But not on that.
One of the big reasons I hated them even as a little boy is that they've ALWAYS been sanctimonious, high-and-mighty scolds - perhaps the single trait that irritates me more than any other.
My schoolteachers were always like this, and I still feel a surge of anger whenever I think of them.

There's no team I remotely care about in the SB, so I may not watch at all.
And the commercials over the last few years have uniformly been duds. So, that's no draw.
I miiiiiiiight take a look at the 1st quarter to see if it's going to be a real hard-fought football game instead of the usual blowout. Dunno.
Either way I've got no interest in seeing an anti-American yahoo prance about in a dress denouncing our country, so that weighs heavily against the watch side.

The Morning Report — 1/23/26
Several emergency declarations have already been issued as a massive winter storm barrels toward more than 35 states, putting more than 200 million people in its path and threatening “considerable disruption” across the US. Texas, Georgia and the Carolinas were the first to issue preemptive emergency declarations after the National Weather Service warned that “nearly everyone east of the Rockies” will be affected by snow, ice, or cold from Friday into early next week. The potentially historic winter storm, dubbed Winter Storm Fern, is expected to span more than 2,000 miles, putting more than 200 million people at risk of crippling snow and travel chaos starting Thursday night.Please be safe, avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary and take all appropriate precautions, especially if you live in an area that typically does not experience severe/extreme winter conditions and you and your vehicles aren't used to dealing with it. With that out of the way, the metaphor of cold and ICE could not be more appropriate. VP JD Vance visited the front line of the war being waged to eliminate our national sovereignty and in point of fact to erase America as founded.
Vice President JD Vance doesn’t believe there’s a need to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota for the time being, he told The Daily Wire on Thursday. Vance touched down in Minneapolis, meeting with federal immigration officers to assess the chaos on the ground. For weeks following the fatal shooting of an ICE watch activist, left-wing agitators have followed federal agents arresting illegal immigrants across the Twin Cities trying to thwart their actions.Given the incitement and the loud proclamations of Democrat leaders from Walz to Frey and Pritzker and others that they will refuse to cooperate with ICE and other Federal Law enforcement officials in enforcing our laws to protect our sovereignty and citizenry, by virtually ordering their own police forces to physically confront and thwart their efforts. If that is not a green light for the Democrat Party's organized or even lone wolf street thugs and brain damaged fools to physically attack ICE officers . . then I now give you this massive dog-whistle cum Fuhrer Befehl declaring open season on ICE agents.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wildly suggested that residents can open fire on masked ICE agents if they feel their life is in danger under the state’s self-defense laws. The Democrat, in a sit-down with 12 News anchor Brahm Resnik, warned that Arizona’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows citizens to use deadly force if they believe they’re in imminent danger, could become a “recipe for disaster” if protesters clash with immigration officers. “It’s kind of a recipe for disaster because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,” Mayes said in the Monday interview, calling ICE “very poorly trained.” “And we have a Stand Your Ground law that says that if you reasonably believe that your life is in danger and you’re in your house or your car or on your property, that you can defend yourself with lethal force.” A flabbergasted Resnik repeatedly challenged Mayes, cautioning that her remarks could be interpreted as a “license” to residents to shoot a federal agent. She shot back that she was merely stating a “fact,” not encouraging violence. “If you’re being attacked by someone who is not identified as a peace officer — how do you know?” the state’s top prosecutor pressed, adding that “real cops don’t wear masks.” “I mean if somebody comes at me wearing a mask, by the way, I’m a gun owner, and I can’t tell whether they’re a police officer, what am I supposed to do? No, I’m not suggesting people pull out their guns, but this is a don’t tread on me state.” The attorney general, who was elected in 2022, unleashed her jaw-dropping comments as immigration officers begin to spread into parts of the Grand Canyon State. . . . She vowed to prosecute any ICE agent who violates state laws after operations in Minnesota sparked widespread unrest when an federal officer fatally shot protester Renee Nicole Good when she clipped him with her car during a heated confrontation on Jan. 7. Arizona GOP Rep. David Schweikert blasted the attorney general, calling her rhetoric “reckless.”
No, it's not an insurrection Mr. Vice President. It's merely the latest eruption of violent anti-American revolution from within.
To conservatives, it might appear at first blush that these anti-ICE radicals and DNC Commiecrats are all about the F word. It seems to reflect unimaginable rage and irrational hysteria relating to an issue about which the radicals are so passionate that all reasonable expression is abandoned. Don’t be lulled into believing, though, that the beginning and end of these incoherent, obscene rants is that they’re suffering from some serious lack of creative expression or a mind-wiping anger. It’s more than that. They have a mission beyond the superficial rage they would have us focus on. . . When the left protests, there’s more than rage or frustration. There’s seething enmity. We saw it with the Pussy March when Trump was first elected, during the impeachments and prosecutions levied against him, during the George Floyd/BLM/DEI protests, and now with the ICE insanity. Every time a congressional Commiecrat, the governor of a blue state, or the mayor of a blue city speaks, bile drips out all over. Journalists and talk show hosts spew their anti-anything American venom daily and with impunity. Don Lemon did it at the church invasion in Minnesota and then brazenly lied and hid behind his immunity as a “journalist” and the fact that he is a gay, black man. Do I hear Jussie Smollett, anyone? It’s more than rage about the issues or mental illness, prescription meds, weed, or street drugs driving the behavior. It’s even more than demonic possession. Again, these are the things they want us to perseverate on, while they pursue their mission: a collective determination to destroy. It’s easy to think of our Commiecrats as zombie-like, reacting in lockstep, converging on something en masse, walking in hordes over cliffs and into raging rivers. The impression they give is that they’re not responsible for their actions. That lets them off too easily. . . They don’t do this merely out of rage about an issue but because it is the only path to revolution and cannot be brought about by polite debate and collegial cooperation. . . They don’t need the facts or stats, logic, or reasoning to accomplish their goals. Just a place to compulsively and convulsively shout “F you” while destroying everything in their way—not just buildings and property, but love of country, American culture, and resilience—courageously remaking this nation as they believe it should be, as Obama once said. So, when you hear a Karen ranting, “F you,” it’s not anger about the American Dream slipping away, but about the fury needed for their Marxist Utopian Dream. And make no mistake: they relish in that fury. If you doubt me, listen to Minnesota Church Stormer-in-Chief William Kelly rant about death threats against him, inviting people to “Go ahead, kill me...because...you can kill the revolutionary, but you can’t kill the Revolution.”Beyond merely the droogs and deadhead scum that are the tip of the spear, this nation needs to be absolutely purged from sea to shining sea of everything and everyone of the Left, including the complete dismantling of the Democrat Party and most especially the malign influence of our schools. If we fail, it will be our undoing. This madness ends with us or it ends us.
As tensions rise in Minneapolis and other sanctuary cities and ICE officers confront violent protestors in the line of duty, some teachers are indoctrinating their students to believe the left’s woke narratives—even when they are demonstrably false. At Manson Northwest Webster High School in Iowa, a language arts teacher, identified by other outlets as Kim Keller, was caught in an audio recording delivering a virulent partisan diatribe to her class in which she accused ICE agents of murdering Renee Nicole Good—and told her students they would likely be next. The teacher begins by scolding her class for allegedly laughing at TikTok videos about the incident: “Then why are you laughing? Because that is what is happened [sic]. And if you do not process that, you need to process that right now.” The angry tirade that follows is full of misrepresentations and outright lies.The school is not on the Upper West Side of Mamdani's Manhattan but in Iowa. Trouble in River City folks. Have a great weekend. Again, stay warm and stay safe! And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Gentile went so far as to declare “Fascism is a form of socialism, in fact, it is its most viable form.” One of the most common reflections on this is that fascism is itself socialism based on national identity.
Gentile believed that all private action should be oriented to serve society. He was against individualism, for him there was no distinction between private and public interest.

I don't even want to get started on that shit. Had a routine visit with the cardiac doc (typical age and diabetic management stuff) and asked for a stress test to support my recurrent flight physical. I told the provider I'd pay out of pocket and they gave me a (pretty cfuking spendy) price.
Of course, it's 'elective' so the insurance company said nope. Then, the provider came back and said since I have insurance the price was gonna be another $500, even though the insurance wouldn't pay for the procedure.

Two things here. This retard is clearly telling the sub 100 IQ community to open fire on anyone wearing a mask.
Her statement is even more retarded because this statement is in proximity to her calling ICE Agents "very poorly trained" - as if the sub 100 IQ protestors have SEAL level training.
Second thing: Spending literally trillions on a military is absolutely senseless when the biggest threat to the US is Soros AGs and judges.
Congress, in the face of the collapse of Western Civilization and a hot civil war refuses to do the most simple and laziest thing: Pass the SAVE Act.

The Enemy Press would go into orgasms if troops came in and took over. Some more ground work has to be done before declaring it and taking action.

Stand your ground, if you’re not in full legal uniform I don’t know who you are, Levi’s and t shirt. I don’t know if your sew on badge is real, break in, kicking door down no warrant, oh well, and I will request a jury trial.
Remember, if you're ever on a jury all you need to say is guilty or not guilty. You don't need to explain shit...like why shooting the brownshirt was morally right.
MAGA bootlickers need to somehow get the message that the 2nd amendment is not compatible with where Trump is taking this country and *they will take your guns eventually*. Maybe not today, but far sooner than you think may be possible.
Stand your ground if it’s one of you and many of them means you’re dead. If you think ICE is coming, you had better organize a crew to help you stand your ground. Or the whole neighborhood needs to be armed and on patrol
The Trump Admin is intentionally sending ICE agents to states that don’t have Stand Your Ground laws: California, Oregon, Minnesota, Illinois, Maine. It’s by design; there are more millions more undocumented immigrants in Texas and Florida but they have very strong stand you ground laws.

I was war gaming the Church Invader BLM Donation Jumpstart Stunt.
It will be interesting to see what happens to those arrested (thanks Bondi for actually doing your job). If they walk like the thug in Chicago, then all of the rules change since it is a license to attack churches. Undoubtably this will lead to people testing how far these attacks can go before there is any meaningful resistance. Vandalism? Shootings? Arson?
I doubt that the perps in this case were armed since it was a Donation Hustle and Narrative Amplifier - gunning down women and children would only force other congregations to harden, not disperse.
Fortunately, congregations are forced to draw up security plans (like they should have decades ago).
Other than that, get off the X. Move. MN is enemy territory and Congress will let the nation fall into riot and collapse.

What is not said by these retards is that Texas and Florida coöperate with the Feds and there is no drama except for the illegal aliens winding up out-bound.

The Trump Admin is intentionally sending ICE agents to states that don’t have Stand Your Ground laws: California, Oregon, Minnesota, Illinois, Maine. It’s by design; there are more millions more undocumented immigrants in Texas and Florida but they have very strong stand you ground laws.
Posted by: Intercepted DU Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at January 23, 2026 07:45 AM
They've stumbled on to the truth here: we have to flood the zone with ICE in the aforementioned states (without stand your ground laws) because those are the states that are not cooperating with immigration enforcement. Not only not cooperating, but actively hindering immigration enforcement.
There's no need to send ICE en masse to Texas or Florida because the "locals" in Texas & Florida are actively helping the ICE actions.
Posted by: AltonJackson at January 23, 2026 07:56 AM (tljrc)
Exactly. If Trump were to compromise, he would be seen as weak -- and the only compromise is to let more illegals remain here. Unacceptable.

Talking about reconquista isn't a crime so there's no basis for using Delta to snatch the Mexican President. Given the actions of Mexicans in the US, however, it could be argued that it's an informal declaration of war so we should kick the shit out of Mexico and remind them who's the big dog in this hemisphere. Sadly, even the war-lover members of the Congressional GOP would balk at that because they're only interested in fight the WW2 European theater over and over again, ad infinitum.

Anyone else who wants that power instead can say "Oh, well in that case...." and it's Vae Victis o'clock in what used to be America.
And to be honest, that would probably be a slightly better outcome than slouching along under Default Progressivism for another fifty years. So we should be somewhat grateful that they've forgotten the raw eldritch strength of Default Progressivism, thrown it out the window, and fully embraced dandyish crybully retard-ism.

1st, note they don't say why another warrant is required.
Next, they don't say why the person is arrested.
Let me put it this way:
You get a traffic ticket. You sign and agree to appear. You don't. A bench warrant will be issued for your arrest.
That is a, as the new euphemism goes, an "administrative warrant."
A warrant. There is no functioning distinction-- you are authorized arrested anywhere you're found.
Even in your house.
That is exactly like these arrests.
When you seek to enter the US, you agree to appear at a port of entry.
If you fail to appear, and a warrant is issued for your arrest.
Anywhere you can be found.
Even in your house.

A crime is a crime.
And every crime you commit means you can be arrested.
Thousands of Americans get arrested every day because they refused to appear at court.
Just like the illegal aliens refused to appear at the port of entry.
Under immigration law, they agreed to "appear at court" to enter the US.
To have their right to enter determined by an officer of the law.
They failed to appear and a bench warrant was issued for their arrest.

For a few days after the Renee Good purification, I was posting the applicable law granting ICE agents all sorts of powers. While the "true believers" didn't care, there were a decent number of normies that seemed to accept ICE agents have legal jurisdiction.
Here's the primary legal reference: https://tinyurl.com/3ucbc9ac
It's pretty clear, simple to read and understand. Let me just share the beginning:
8 USC 1357: Powers of immigration officers and employees
(a) Powers without warrant
Any officer or employee of the Service authorized under regulations prescribed by the Attorney General shall have power without warrant-
(1) to interrogate any alien or person believed to be an alien as to his right to be or to remain in the United States;
And it goes on beautifully from there.

If you noticed the “going nationwide” is not working. They’re concentrating their forces in Minneapolis but not having much of an effect outside that, certainly not in red states.
This is an attempt to manufacture rebellion by the Dem party. It has no effect in any area they do not control.

The directive, which was first reported in early December 2025 by the Lafayette Journal & Courier and the Purdue student newspaper, has never been put in writing. But several faculty members confirmed to Science that it is in effect. Last spring it apparently led Purdue to rescind departmental letters of acceptance to more than 100 graduate students, most from China. More recently it is impacting students that faculty members would like to employ as research assistants in their lab but whom the university has not admitted into a doctoral program.

Nor could it, which is why it doesn't.
I frequently point out that the collapse of our legal order is pretty much the mirror image of what happened during Weimar. They allowed Freikorps and Stahlhelm (and eventually SA) paramilitaries to do more or less as they pleased, and ruthlessly suppressed the Communist.
Interestingly, that was the genesis of our beloved Antifa. The courts proscribed the KPD paramilitary (Roter Frontkämpferbund). Its dead-enders kept the torch alive by pulling from the street rabble instead of the labor unions to form up an unofficial, illegal paramilitary - Antifaschistische Aktion.

The trucker boycott in California is primarily a response to recent regulations and actions affecting immigrant truck drivers, particularly the revocation of commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) for those without permanent work authorization.
NO!!
The trucking industry in California has faced significant challenges due to the implementation of Green Diesel mandates, which have led to a boycott by thousands of independent truckers. These mandates, part of California's efforts to combat air pollution and climate change, have effectively banned a large portion of the trucking fleet. The boycott has resulted in a supply chain crisis, with reports of food shortages and empty shelves in California due to the refusal of truckers to cross the state line. Governor Gavin Newsom has expressed concern over the impact of this situation on the state's economy and food security. The situation has sparked discussions about the feasibility and impact of such mandates on the trucking industry and the broader economy.

Since the Irish more or less regard Cromwell as a genocidal fuckhead(which he pretty much was), in much the same way that the Jews regard Hitler, it's zero surprise that he inspired and still inspires lots of hate.
From what I've read, praising Cromwell is more or less like praising Hitler for making the trains run on time.

Aside from the obvious problem of multiple generations of marxist freak schoolteachers in great numbers, the other thing is the administrators. You will find no greater group of chickenshits than public school administrators and staff.
We need to let parents pick the type of educators that suit their personal beliefs; the moonbats already have public schools - those freaks could just re-form into their own private schools. Non-moonbats are left in the cold (by design) because there just aren't enough non-moonbat schools to go around due to cost and red tape. The ONE non-woke school here costs 5 figures a year.
And you can't say academic rigor prevents it; colleges are off the deep end doing shit like no longer using SAT's, grade inflation, etc.

Talking to a left-leaning coworker a few days ago about the impending snow. He mentioned "the models" and the varying predictions of snowfall amounts. His summation was basically "nobody knows". I took the opportunity to point out to him that climate hysteria is based on computer models and simulation. I asked him if we can't even rely on models for a storm we know exists and is only a few days away, why would we rely on future models of weather patterns for long term policy decisions. I think his brain began to rewire!

In a larger sense, I'll always be grateful for COVID in one regard.
NPCs are pretty obvious in any case, but it can be hard in life to sort the stand-up cats from the bitchmade pussies born with no nutsack. That gave us a clear picture of our people. And a sad one. The bitchmade ratio is very much higher than I anticipated, cynical as I was before that.
It also gave me way more respect for freethinkers, who are very much rarer than I thought.
And it forced me to reset a lot of parameters with regard to what I think can or should be done in this country.

"Grammar" properly refers to the set of rules governing the forms words take based on their role in a clause. Basically, conjugating verbs and declining nouns, pronouns, and adjectives.
For example, "John and me went to the store" is ungrammatical because "me" cannot properly be used as a subject. It should be "John and I...".
"Irregardless" is not "ungrammatical." It's merely a disfavored usage.

IMHO we have passed the point in the blue shitholes where going Pinochet is justified. 4 years of J6 raids and the egregious pedo- and rape-enabling in public schools sealed the deal on that.
If Vance wins in 28 we have 4-8 more years to try and right the ship. If he does not - we are off to the races immediately. What is going on in VA removes any doubt of that.

Mayes can KMA. Castle doctrine does not apply to criminals evading arrest. Illegals are not allowed to possess firearms in this country. Since ICE/CBP are clearly identified by patch and badge so this 'poorly identified' claim is crap. Nothing will happen here in AZ because state and local authorities cooperate with ICE/CBP and detainers lodged by them are honored. Phoenix may get an enforcement operation merely because of the number of illegals in the state of Maricopa.

Tom Bombadil was very powerful, but his power was constrained by boundaries. He couldn't leave the Old Forest and its environs. His fate was bound up with Goldberry's. As for his importance, the hobbits find their first respite from their journey in his sanctuary, just like Rivendell and Lothlorien. There's also important foreshadowing of Frodo's fate that occurs there, as well as a gift of comfort and solace that Frodo can draw upon at need.

This occasionally happens on the right as well, but right-wingers are generally mentally stable, understand the ramifications, have families and businesses to be responsible for, and have a Christian moral foundation against murder.
Leftists, conversely, are mentally unstable, take no accountability for their actions, have aborted their children and do only make-shift work, and have an atheistic child-sacrificing moral grounding.

I don't think she's lying to me -- we go back a long way. Her friends may very well be lying to her, and I think the Mexican community, which is quite large in that town, is very close-knit.
I asked her why when Obama deported more people it wasn't an issue, but didn't get an answer. Thankfully we don't live near there anymore, and I don't want to damage this relationship. I already lost dear friends, who are black and live in Chicago, to the race hustling of Obama.

I was watching a "profile in courage" type video a leftist had made about himself.
He was asian and had been selected as the Earl Warren scholar at some CA college.
Warren was a leftwing lunatic SC judge, hence why the left loves him but he was also the CA gov behind the japanese internment so they should hate him.
Or brave leftist noted this bothered him and he felt he should refuse. But then he had a better idea. He asked them to rename the position to the Justice Earl Warren scholar.
Brilliant right? He gets the money, he gets to make himself a martyr, and the college doesn't really have to do anything either...

A couple of days ago at my gDaughter's Cub pack meeting, Marie Curie's name came up as a discoverer of nuclear radiation (the topic was "symbols of our country"). I corrected my gDaughter (as it turned out) that Marie was Polish and lived in France and that Roentgen discovered nuclear radiation. Nevertheless, I was inpressed by her knowing what she did.
Anyway, I asked my son to pull up the photo of the attendees at the 1927 Solvay Conference. The kids picked out Marie and Albert Einstein, of course. I told them that every person in that picture played substantial or major roles in advancing chemistry and physics one hundred years ago and, at some point, they will become familiar with more of them.
This got me to asking why are there not pictures of such assemblies of notable and great scientists today? Is it possible that too many scientists today have been sent off to pursue will-o-the-wisps such as My String-a-Ling Theory or Klimate Katastrophe? And who funds such wasted pursuits? The world wonders.

Absolute worst case scenario is 50/50. And that's not going to happen.

The GOP will easily hold TX.
There's a 50/50 chance of keeping NC (it might be 55-45, actually, with PVI of the state).
GA is probably a 40/60 pickup opportunity. MI is probably a 35-65 pickup opportunity.

And when it comes to Arizona and shenanigans, do remember Senator Mark Kelley.

The insurrection act doesn't allow Trump to just flood Minneapolis with federal troops, it allows the military to take over the job of law enforcement. You really think that's the way to go here ? Doubtful

Top Story
- With the tech world embroiled in AI frenzy and every major chipmaker hitching its wagon to the fashion and recording record sales and record profits while the bubble lasts, it is comforting to see one company bucking the trend and... Recording declining sales and an unprofitable quarter. (Thurrott)
Take a bow, Intel.
Though to be fair Intel showed off new consumer products at CES when AMD and Nvidia couldn't be bothered, and the integrated graphics on Intel's latest Panther Lake chips looks to be faster than AMD's fastest mainstream models (though slower than the Ryzen AI Max if you use it for gaming and not AI.)
Tech News
- Why does SSH send 100 packets per keystroke? (Eieio)
Basically it's obfuscating your typing patterns to block side-channel attacks. Though your data is encrypted, if it just sends one packet each time you press a key a lot can be inferred from the timing.
- For everything else, there's Telnet. (The Register)
Where in this case "everything else" includes "instantly gaining root access to any server silly enough to expose Telnet to the internet".
And the bug has been around since 2015 before anyone noticed. Noticed officially, anyway.
Nobody sane offers public telnet, anyway.
- There's a tidal wave of spam headed your way thanks to a Zendesk attack. (Bleeping Computer)
Companies affected include Discord, Tinder, Riot Games, and Dropbox. With this attack you can receive spam from their official Zendesk servers even if you're not a customer.
- Are AI agents ready for the workplace? (Tech Crunch)
(shake shake)
Signs point to fuck no.Faced with queries from real professionals, even the best models struggled to get more than a quarter of the questions right. The vast majority of the time, the model came back with a wrong answer or no answer at all.
It can't replace junior programmers and it can't replace anyone else.
If not bubble, why bubble shaped?
- The world's largest advertising network is surprised that ChatGPT is adding ads. (Tech Crunch)
I'm sure.
- The EU Parliament has called for a mass migration from US cloud and AI services to European ones that don't exist. (Heise) (archive site)

Canned pineapple slices will get eaten sooner than chunks. Therefore they stay sweet until they are gone, and don't start to go all alcohol-tasting like the chunks do.

3 You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.
I like my Gideon's Bible which suggests this as a reading for "peace in time of turmoil." I may have shared this before, but how I got the Bible was a "God incident." Spouse and I were staying at a motel and when we woke up to go someone had tossed the Bible out of their room into the parking lot. I asked the motel owner or manager if I could keep it and he said, "Sure". We have so many books here, but I found it again and I am grateful to God.

Which might end up keeping Intel alive when the AI bubble collapses. The other AI majors - nVidia, AMD, Broadcom, Microsoft, Google, etc. - are all going to weather the storm, too - though they may see a permanent loss of enterprise value like Cisco did after the dotcom bubble. Intel, however, is so weak and so strained that it might not if it has too many eggs in that basket.
If I were an investor, I'd be pleased to see that Intel is still taking its other markets seriously. It's going to need to be positioned well in them when the other majors start to scramble for position post-bubble.

If you think the asset value is irrationally high, yes. It's why I sold a chunk of AI stocks late last year. This bubble is out of control and while it *is* still going up and I left that on the table, I locked in a more than 100% increase on the back of nothing but irrational exuberance. I blinked, and I don't regret it.

Thursday Overnight Open Thread - January 22, 2026 [Doof]
Big snow storm approaching the east coast. Even Florida was hit with a cold spell recently.
Zach Clark isn’t the first person to ever try using a potato as a gun silencer, but he recently became the first to have it legally approved as a silencer by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). He reportedly did it to point out the absurdity of the law that allowed him to do it, a law that now allows anyone to submit their own silencer designs, regardless of how crazy they might be. “It’s a good way to highlight to normal people that like, ‘Yeah, this is dumb. ‘This whole law is kind of dumb,” Clark told The Reload. “There are other people who have talked about submitted forms for pillows. One is particularly funny because, for the documentation, it’s just a picture of Mike Lindell holding a My Pillow. People have submitted forms for Monster Energy cans. So, there are definitely a lot of people who are going that angle.” *** “Serial number Samwise01 was denied, but Tate001 and Tate002 were approved,” Zach Clark said. “It happened with some of my 3D-printed suppressors, too. I had three that were denied that used the exact same documentation as the other 40 that were approved. So who knows? I’m assuming with what’s going on at the ATF right now, they’re just flying through them. So, there might not even be a thought process. The person could just be clicking, yes, no, because there’s chaos over there.”OK, fess up - which one of you did this?? ----- Ginger vs Mary Ann. How old are you? Ongoing AOSHQ themes converge!
(Click for source on X)
“My girlfriend got on to me the other day because she doesn’t understand why I can’t just pick eggs out of the carton like a “normal” person. She’s standing there watching me and says, “Why can’t you just go row by row like everyone else?” I said, “Because no egg should ever know when its time is coming.” She stared at me for a second, shook her head, and said, “You’re a psycho,” then walked off. Little does she know…I’ve got a whole tournament system going on. I take two eggs, tap them together, and whichever one doesn’t crack moves on to the next round. Only the strongest survive. 🥚 💪 😂”
What's the common thread / common meaning / common leitmotif?
(Aside from them all being live recordings from the 90s)

They were part of a three-tier system (along with "idiot") based on mental age. For context, the full actual hierarchy was:
Idiot → Most severe (IQ ~0–25, mental age up to ~2 years).
Imbecile → Moderate (as above).
Moron → Mildest (as above).

I mainly started doing this when I started buying the 18-egg cartons to save money. The carton basically weighs the same but the rows now weigh a lot more, making it more unbalanced than a 12-egg carton would be once there are only two or so rows left.
It also meant more of a mess, because more eggs, if something did happen due to the imbalance.
It became very obvious very quickly that clumsy me would eventually have trouble with that scenario.

I just finished a short three day tour (three day-ay tour) of Hill Country Texas (Round Rock/Junction/Boerne/Bellview/Giddings/Round Rock) and everyone was talking about the upcoming freeze.
And on the last leg my stupid map kept warning me that I was driving into a freeze warning. It’s two days away you inbred ENIAC!

Why don't you just put them in the egg thingy that often comes in your refrigerator and take out the 1 or 2 you need without taking the whole thing out of the refrigerator? Open the door, reach in, take two out (one in each hand if you have small hands) and turn and set them on the counter (next to the fork so they don't roll off)?

Ummmm, where you keep the eggs now?
Honestly, it's just a bin with divots in the bottom that's sturdier than the carton. Two advantages are that you don't have to worry about the carton giving way if you DO move it, and that you can usually stack the eggs. (I do that when I buy a new dozen before quite finishing the last dozen - older eggs on top.)
But you can do the same thing with a carton - just open the top and take out the couple of eggs you need, then close the refrigerator. (Don't use your hip to close it; you might get internal bleeding and have to shoot one.)

Technically, commercial eggs in the United States should be refrigerated. Supposedly. The protective coating that allows eggs to survive indefinitely at room temperature is cleaned off of eggs for commercial sale. This is something Europeans laugh at us for, and I’m not sure I can disagree with them.

The key link is the MC1R gene (melanocortin-1 receptor), which causes red hair by producing more pheomelanin (red pigment) instead of eumelanin (dark pigment). This same gene mutation affects pain pathways and how the body responds to anesthetics.
A landmark 2004 study in the journal Anesthesiology found that women with natural red hair needed about 19-20% more of the inhaled anesthetic desflurane to stay under compared to dark-haired women. The difference was statistically significant, and most of the redheads had specific MC1R mutations.

Now that you mention it....
The only reason we refrigerate eggs in the US is (except for hobby farmers and such) that, to be sold, eggs must be washed.
In Europe (this might have changed recently) they do not wash the eggs, and the coating that is on the eggs naturally keeps them fresh without refrigeration.
Because we have a bit of a fetish for clean things (even ones that don't need to be clean) USDA requires our eggs be bathed before being sold.

In my experience, they don't keep much in refrigeration in Europe because A) that is not how they live and B) refrigeration in Europe sucks.
It has nothing to do with washing eggs. The culture is different. They shop more frequently instead of having huge refrigerators that actually work. Ask CBD about his French kitchen. Europeans don't do Wally World grocery shopping. They buy what they need for a day or two at a time.
And no, Sir Francis Chichester did not did eggs in wax and sail around the world with them. If he had it would have become SOP among offshore sailors. It didn't. That's not how it works.

The thing is, at least if you raise chickens, don't wash eggs till ready to use. Shells are porous. You don't want to get them wet.To store for long term one way is to coat the shells with olive oil (some people use lard) and store in a cool dark place. They'll stay fine for a year without refrigeration. Not so much at all for store bought.

One of my college friends was a guy from San Diego. He used to tell us that in San Diego, the streets were arranged alphabetically. This is crazy, we tell him. Who arranges to name streets alphabetically?
Later, I move to San Diego. The streets are all named in themes, and within the theme alphabetically. I can probably still recite the tree-based street names where I happened to live. (The other direction was numbered, not named.)
Ash, Beech, Cedar, Date, Elm, Fig, Grape, Hawthorne, Ivy, Juniper, Kalmia, Laurel, Maple, Nutmeg, Olive, Palm, Quince, Redwood, Spruce, Thorn, Upas.
I don’t even know what a Kalmia or Upas tree are. But I remember the names. Not really sure what an Ivy Tree is either but there apparently is either such a thing or such a term.

I used to, in my twenties.... now in my 60s, I find grouping spices by type to be more convenient...so dried herbs are grouped together, with the ones I use the most in the most forward position....and "red/brown" spices grouped together....ie, smoked paprika, paprika, garam masala, cayennne, cumin, corriander...etc..... all the rest get shoved in the spice cupboard....but separated between baking spices and general cooking spices.....so cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice,ginger etc . are separated from garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder, dried mustard, aleppo pepper, turmeric etc.

I don’t even know what a Kalmia or Upas tree are. But I remember the names. Not really sure what an Ivy Tree is either but there apparently is either such a thing or such a term.

West Vancouver, B.C. has streets (running N-S) numbered in sequence from East to West, and avenues running E-W (parallel to the shoreline) in alphabetical order from the waterfront up the hillside.

There are odd little groupings of historical names in different areas. In the Morena district near the intersection of I-8 and I-5, there's an area with Civil War-related names.
Up in Marina del Rey in LA there are a bunch of WWII Pacific island/battle names - figure the developer was a vet of the Pacific.
In DC it took a while to notice the E-W street names, going north are alphabetical, first 2-syllable, then 3-syllable.

Lubbock, TX for one. I think all of the southern East-West roads were alphabetical founders and presidents, and all of the northern ones were trees. All of the North-South roads were numbered, with avenues on one side and streets on the other (of the center of town, that is). And it had two big crossways roads that went like an X through it all.
It made it INCREDIBLY easy to find an address. 402 W Adams? Easy, one road south from the middle of town, 4th block west of the middle. And 102 S 4th street would be right around the corner from it.
That system broke down once you were outside the original outlines of the city. Much more like regular suburbia, with curvy streets everywhere, so you can't go in a straight line.

I've only caught up to comment #82. Not sure if the thing was stated.
If it was supposed to be that you didn't see the forks at first, it didn't work for me. I saw that immediately and tried to figure out what the deal really was. MiladyJo, OTOH, didn't see them at first and as she explained to me that they were forks, I was, like, yeah? So what?

I kinda saw that as I scrolled past it up and down. The forks looked like they were valleys, as it were, rather than on top of the towel.
If it's something else entirely, I dunno. Back to reading comments.

Had an appt to see the periodontist who is doing the implant on my front tooth. Yesterday, one of my other teeth (in the back of my mouth) lost part of the filling in it, in addition to part of the tooth itself and started hurting like an SOB. Called my dentist, who said I could either call an endodontist for a root canal or an oral surgeon for an extraction.
I figured since I already had the appt with the periodontist, I would ask her to take a look at it and give me her opinion. She agreed. When she first looked at it, she thought I should be able to go the root canal root, but she has an imaging machine in her office and suggested we look at that first.
Turns out that tooth is cracked/broken and can't be salvaged. Not only that, another tooth on the opposite side of my mouth is also cracked/broken. She could extract both teeth at the same time as doing stuff on my front tooth. The bone in my lower jaw was in good enough shape that she could implant the post today.

They had already numbed up my mouth,but the doctor wondered why I didn't want to have IV sedation instead...
I hate needles, but given that 3 things were going to be done while there, I opted for the sedation route. Dr. said I would be awake, but wouldn't care. Nope! I was out like a light, and woke up when everything was over (🎉🎉🎉
. Went home and slept some more (apparently the Dr. added Valium to the mix at the end - at least that's what she told me when she called to check on me this evening).
I'm feeling good tonight - very little pain (they told me to take 3 ALEVE every 6 hours for a day or two. It seems to be working!
Anyway, that was my day! We're "expecting" cold weather and precipitation all weekend - I'm betting it's another big nothing-burger (just like every other meteorologist's "We're getting 6" of snow in North Texas!" wishcasting every other tim....)

Calgary is on a grid, with the origin point barely north of the Bow River. Most of the desirable addresses in downtown are single digits in the SW quadrant. Newer remote subdivisions don't really follow the grid plan.
Edmonton's grid plan originates from a mythical origin point somewhere near Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, so the main drag through downtown is 97th Avenue.

Sort of....
I was in Costa Mesa for my 3rd Lipedema surgery - I kept testing positive for (symptomless) UTIs. After the 3rd positive test, the doctor told me he wasn't going to do the surgery until I went back to Fort Worth to see a urologist.
I already had one back home - I assumed I had another kidney stone (mine never hurt). He did some imaging and another urinalysis. The imaging showed the masses in my liver - he did another image, and after seeing the results of that, he immediately referred me to an oncologist.
I did tell my surgeon in Costa Mesa that he probably bought me extra time - I wasn't feeling any symptoms at that point. If I hadn't gone to the urologist when I did, it probably would have been too late to do anything for it a few months later.

I had surgery 6 weeks ago. While the surgery had to be abandoned, another protocol was available, which - if it works - might buy another 2-3 years before we have to find another solution. Given how many new trials are taking place right now, chances are there will be something else available.
I tested positive for a mutation which seems to "slow" the progression of this type of cancer, so I have that going for me!
Best of all, this has not progressed outside of the liver, so that is another thing in my favor. Once it leaves the liver, there are significantly fewer options available for treatment. (Bile Duct Cancer is almost NEVER found when it is confined to the bile duct, due to the small size of the bile ducts)

Erratum. 0.8", not 0.08". I wish only a tenth, but that's what they've got.
Both GFS and Euro are trending a stronger "warm nose" followed by warm air advection. That means more ice, but a transition to rain and above freezing sooner. The boys at GSP are skeptical of that, as the cold air damming that high sets up can be a bitch to break, but they are seeing "formidable" warm air advection.
GFS has us here getting sleet big time before the freezing rain ("ZR" in their lingo), but the Euro has it all ZR from the get go. They were disagreeing on the timing, but that has converged to about 7PM Sat evening when the precip starts here. If it pans out, Sun will be the icemaggedon day. If that warm air advection works out, Euro has rain by 1PM Sun, but GFS has it 7PM.

You have no idea. It took me from the first week in december to about a week ago to throw out 2 contractor bags of shit from the garage. I got the first one out right before new years. I finally got to toss the 2nd bag a few days ago. There is never room in the bin. Food garbage is definitely top priority over my garage stuff, which is pretty much shop garbage. Still, leave me some frigging room. lol

yeah, same as you. One for garbage, one for recycle. Twice a week. I didn't have to pay for it 5 miles down the road in my old house, but I do here. Its not all that much. I could have picked once or twice a week. Mrs B wanted twice a week. Shocked I am. Still, it wasn't that much more for the second pickup. The dude i got the house from said go with the twice a week thing. If you pick once a week the dude literally has to dump it himself, if you pick twice a week they use the truck with the arm that picks it up automatically. With that method they uh... don't see what you throw out.

Here in SF, certain street conventions indicate different sections of the city. Numerical avenues are on the west side, crossed with streets arranged alphabetically by name. Numerical streets in order are South of Market into the Mission. Streets named after US states are in the Potrero. Streets named for European capitals are in Visitacion Valley. It makes it rather easy.

The inaugural BRICS joint naval exercise, “Will for Peace 2026”, that unfolded off the coast of South Africa from January 9 to the 16 marked a significant and symbolic evolution for the bloc but not without its hurdles. With the participation of naval forces from China, South Africa, Russia and Iran in the first multilateral military exercise under the BRICS, its location near the strategic chokepoint of Simon’s Town, SA – a crucial nexus between the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans – is a deliberate projection of presence into vital global trade arteries.

The old part of my Oklahoma home town has N/S streets named after tribes. Osage, Cherokee, Delaware, Shawnee, Wyandotte, Seneca, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Quapaw, Comanche. I think they're named in order of when the tribe was swindled out of their land.

I have a CD - Phillip Morris Superband World Tour - which has an absolutely tremendous instrumental arrangement of Girl Talk, a Hefti tune. Thanks for bringing it to mind. I'll have to dig it out and listen. Great album. The Super band was a promo for *clutches pearls* Phillip Morris cigarettes, put together by Gene Harris. Two other songs stand out on that CD: Wee Small Hours of the Morning (If it doesn't make you think.of that time just before closing, when you're just standing on the dance floor swaying with someone you love, you've missed out) and Air Mail.Special ( 180 bpm and some of the tightest section work I've ever heard).

It's cost-efficient to recycle aluminum.
I'm sure other metals, like copper, are too, but they're not common household trash.
Everything else that's recycled is basically charity work. It's cheaper to make new paper, plastic, steel, etc.

Well, yes, I seem to recall you are a practitioner of black arts?
I was curious about a product called Polar Pure. It’s a water disinfectant device for hikers and campers, based on a concept developed by Kahn & Vischer some years ago. 4 to 6 grams of USP grade resublimated Iodine crystals are placed in a glass bottle with bakelite cap.
A couple ounces of water are kept in the bottle. A super saturated solution results, that is used to disinfect water in a canteen or whatever

Suddenly, a limousine cruised to the head of the line. The chauffeur stepped out and opened the rear passenger-side door, and two men got out. First was the leftist billionaire and anchovy monopolist, Getus L. Mazuma. A huge man, he was dressed in a blue suit that incorporated enough wool to have kept a shearing shed busy for a week. And then, there he was, the arch penguin-hater and guano mogul, himself, the old Russia hand who had made the transition from Marxism to capitalism as easily as changing his lapel pin: Duncan Duncanovich Thraxski, a picture of studied elegance, in his black overcoat and gray Homburg. The false Assyrian beard was a nice touch.

Jimmy walked out the front door and leaned casually against a lamppost. The men in the limo, including the chauffeur, had disappeared inside the building; however, a few minutes later, they emerged, carrying white cardboard containers the size of fruit boxes. They looked around furtively, then returned inside. Jimmy stole across the street and looked into the open trunk, gasping at what he saw. On one end of each box, there was a silhouette of a penguin inside a red circle with a red hash mark. On the other end was a skull and crossbones. It was poison!

Over the years, even covered with water, it slowly dissipates, about a 1/4 or 1/3 of the crystals remain. The instructions state “so long as visible crystals remain in the bottle, there is sufficient iodine to make a supersaturated solution”
But the solution it makes now seems very weak. It used to make a very strong solution. So I wonder was it “too strong” then, or is it “too weak” now. Or really, shouldn’t it make an identically strong supersaturated solution, inline with what the instructions state?
It’s a great idea, great product. The Feds got involved and shut the guy’s operations down. I think it had something to do with Iodine being used to make Methamphetamine. Go figure.

Jimmy quickly snapped some photos on his cell phone of the car license plate and the deadly boxes, and hustled back across the street. When the men returned, he got photos of them, too (including a new guy who had showed up to pitch in; he vaguely resembled Wally Cox, and wore a turtle neck, beret, and white socks stuffed into open-toed sandals. Penguin Facts was obviously involved, too). Then Jimmy called the office.

Ah, but he said that the supersaturated solution is then used to purify some larger volume of water:
"A couple ounces of water are kept in the bottle. A super saturated solution results, that is used to disinfect water in a canteen or whatever"
And it sounds me me like you are saying that the water in the purifier itself is safe, but when diluted will it still kill the little buggers? Surely it depends on volume of saturated sol. used, and how large the canteen is, no?

The thing is, if it is saturated, it means there is an exact concentration of iodine in the water. Therefore, the only thing that varies is how much of the iodine solution you then put in what volume of water you want to treat.

The concentration recommended depends on the water clarity. Large amounts of suspended organic matter require greater concentrations of disinfectant. The chlorine or iodine gets “bound up” in the organic matter and reduce effectiveness.
About 8mg per liter was the standard “dose” for iodine tablets, results in a brown color and a strong taste.
Yes - I was under the impression that the supersaturated solution would be identical all the way down to the end of the crystals. It doesn’t seem to be working out that way, which is why I thought to ask.

I remember being in my room, or even in bed many times late at night, and I would hear the garage door open -- it meant he was putting chains on the truck because it was going to snow.
So I would get dressed and go down into that freezing garage and help. First of the season meant we had to cobble together a set, and adjust length, etc. Usually replace a couple of the cross pieces that were broken or just too worn. I would help because he would be in bad mood and would yell at me otherwise.
Then the next morning we would go out (assuming no school.) and it would take forever. I didn't care - I loved the snow. Still do.

I enjoyed my year there! I was there during a massive port call brawl between the US, the French and the Brits stationed on Hong Kong Island. The US ship (a marine carrier, I think the Peliliu,) allowed six of the officers to take me and my roommate to dinner after the captain met us and decided we were nice girls. Those guys were the only ones allowed a pass during the entire port of call. There was rancor, they told us.

He also drove a really shitty car because he was spending a LOT of money on my brother -- private coach, clinics, camps, etc. -- and so he drove this cheap little car. Now he had to figure out how to get to the main road in that little car to get my brother to the sports thing.
We put chains on, and spent the morning shoveling, pushing, fixing thrown chains, etc. It was brutal -- the things you do for family, right?
I still remember my brother in the window yelling at us to warm up the car because he didn't want to be cold.
We got to the main road. probably took 2 hours shoveling and another hour driving. I was scared my father was going to have a heart attack he exerted himself so much.

I'm a New England guy. The one year I spent living in the islands was one of the most memorable things I will ever do. But to be honest, I got bored near the end. Beautiful weather but every day was the nearly the same as the one before and that is the opposite of New England where the weather can change by the hour let alone the season.
I love the snow along the New England coast. Beautiful.

So when my dad died, that brother did the eulogy. He talked about how my father loved shitty little cars and he remembered one time trying to get to the main road in it through the snow.
No mention, or even conception, of the sacrifice apparent that day. No understanding of how much my father (the whole family really, but certainly myself included) had worked and sacrificed. I still remember walking back home once I got them to the main road, feet soaked, hands frozen. Carrying the chains and worried silly about my dad having to drive to wherever they were going. I was still scared he had overexerted himself.

The couple inches of snow we had the other day was a bit wet. Not heart attack stuff but wet enough that it coated all of the trees and everything else it touched.
I live in a quiet little neighborhood by the ocean with lots of trees and underbrusb and the other morning when we went for a walk it was like walking in a picture book. All the trees, houses, beach ... everything was coated with a white layer of snow. It was beautiful.
Besides, when would eat things like stew if it never got cold?

IIRC, the island of Hong Kong was perpetual. The 99 year lease was on the New Territories on the mainland. The problem was that the NT was the source for the water Hong Kong used so keeping the island was untenable if push came to shove with China, which China said it would.

Trump Sues JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon for Debanking Him, for $5 Billion in Damages
Obviously I'm horrified at these woke Socialist Oligarchs using their corporate fiduciary power to push their personal political agendas -- the power of the corporation is meant to be wielded for the benefit of shareholders, not the woke cocksuckers sitting in the corner suites -- but I don't know if someone has a legal right to someone else's business. Then again, these are banks, one of the most regulated industries in the world. It's very likely the left has cluttered the US code with all sorts of "fairness in banking" regulations.President Donald Trump on Thursday, Jan. 22, sued JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its CEO Jamie Dimon for $5 billion, accusing the bank of dropping Trump as a client for political reasons after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The lawsuit, which Trump had threatened for days, was filed in state court in Florida as Trump returns from Davos, Switzerland, where he attended the World Economic Forum.I find this problematic:
See, the problem is that JP Morgan will argue that it was good for the corporation to "distance itself" from Trump. Corporations get away with doing a lot of political crap -- which should be ultra vires, against the compact that created and governs the corporation -- by calling it "goodwill." If a lefty CEO wants to donate to BLM -- obviously not something in the interest of the shareholders -- he can justify it by saying it creates public goodwill for the corporation, and therefore actually does benefit the shareholders, albeit indirectly. And judges rarely second-guess CEOs about their "goodwill" decision making. (They ought to, because CEOs use corporations to vindicate their personal agendas, but judges stay hands-off to allow corporations to donate huge amounts of money to the repulsive left.) And I'm afraid that Trump, by stating in his own filing that JP Morgan felt it had to "distance itself" from him due to the "political tide at the moment," has made JP Morgan's defense for it.
"Plaintiffs are confident that JPMC's unilateral decision came about as a result of political and social motivations, and b>JPMC's unsubstantiated, 'woke' beliefs that it needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views," the lawsuit reads. "In essence, JPMC debanked Plaintiffs' Accounts because it believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing so."

So it was not a marketing-political move, like a BLM donation would be, but a pressure-from-the-politicians political move. That is very different.

Much harder to go after the government because qualified immunity but the discovery emails will be useful in the lawsuit and it will harm Chase's business. I'd imagine Trump is betting that Chase will settle rather than try to take it to court.

I've read that it basically allows Europe to fund its socialized medicine, as does the practice of Big Pharma charging the US way more than them, and then building their manufacturing over there too.
Trump is going to turn that all around, of course, so maybe be won't have snooty Europeans giving us an attitude about how uncivilized our health care system is.
But I'm not sure where Greenland left off. Trump said something about a "framework for a deal", or something like that, but that's not an actual deal. Some are declaring victory for Trump, but it sounds to me like it's progress has been made, but the negotiating is ongoing.

So much of what they were rehashing of Jack Smith's shenanigans pointed out that he included a gag order in practically every move he made.
He even argued--and some judge bought it--that the Speaker of the House was a "flight risk", to get the court to sign off on a gag order on AT&T.

Momentum play on silver, gold is a traditional hedge. You see some movement out of crypto into metals though because of the possible quantum computing threat.
Silver price is apparently based on a mismatch between contracts out for silver and the apparent physical amount of silver out there to satisfy the paper contracts.
China constricting supply is another reason. But there are substitutes for it in industrial processes and many played out mines become viable again if silver stays this high.

It's not even supposed to be judges that enforce the 14th amendment. It says right in the amendment that the redresses are supposed to be potentially-reversible Congressional acts!

Depends on your cost basis. If you bought at $20-30 bucks, the risk is you leave 300 percent return on the table. If you bought at $70, different equation. All depends on risk determination that an individual has. I have little appetite for getting rich quick so I tend to hedge in my assets rather than trying to reach a peak. Those that do can get fabulously rich or end up in the poor house. Their choice.
Momentum investments are hard to price to figure out the top of the market ride and when it all goes to shit. People are trading based on greed rather than fear not information or fundamentals like supply and demand.
Gamestop during the Wall Street Bets era hit 70 bucks, now trading about 22 bucks a share.

Policy. It is the policy of the United States that no American should be denied access to financial services because of their constitutionally or statutorily protected beliefs, affiliations, or political views, and to ensure that politicized or unlawful debanking is not used as a tool to inhibit such beliefs, affiliations, or political views. Banking decisions must instead be made on the basis of individualized, objective, and risk-based analyses.

Sorry you are completely wrong. The consumption of Silver for the past 5 years has exceeded production from mines and recycling by 20% per year. It isn't speculation, it is industrial demand. A Tomahawk cruise missile has 500 oz of silver in each one, and when it is used that 500 oz is vaporized and can't be recovered. Silver is the most conductive metal, and there is no substitute in the periodic table.

@dig_metal William Kelly, better known as DaWokeFarmer, got booted from the U.S. Army with a bad-conduct discharge. He was in from about 2007 to 2011, but his stories don't add up--no combat infantry vet, no Afghanistan deployment, no Warrant Officer gig. Reality check: He was just an HR admin (MOS 42A), zero combat or overseas action. Back in 2008, court-martialed for stealing, which led to: - Dropped to Private (E-1). - That punitive BCD, basically "other than honorable" with major baggage. Dude fabricates his military record, he's a proven thief, and an alcoholic on top. Yet this is the fraud the left loves to elevate. Wake up, folks. #StolenValor #Exposed
Tucker Carlson: I condemn America for ending the war with Japan by dropping two nuclear weapons because they are inherently evil, actually they're "demonic" and literally created by demonic forces, and no one should have them. Also Tucker Carlson: Boy it sure would be swell if Iran got nukes because then they'd have leverage against the Jews, who must be eradicated. From the unregistered foreign agent's newsletter:
"I can guarantee you that if the Ayatollah gets a nuclear weapon, he will use it," Lindsey Graham said on Fox News last year. "I believe that with all my heart and soul." Oh, and of course, there's warmonger-in-chief Benjamin Netanyahu, who insists that "there is only one difference between Nazi Germany and the Islamic Republic of Iran... [Iran] is first seeking atomic weapons and, once it has them, will then start a world war."Weird, because he's about to tell you Iranian nukes could be used to pressure Israel to leave the poor Palestinian peace-lovers alone. Why would the warmongering Jews leave them alone unless they knew Iran might nuke them?
What are the chances Iran would actually launch a nuclear attack? History suggests they're zero, no matter what Senator Graham says.
There he is, attacking America for dropping the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima again. Weirdly enough, he thinks that nuclear missiles in the hands of the Ayatollah would bring peace and justice to the region:
No country in the so-called 'Axis of Evil' has ever deployed a nuke, because doing so would be an act of suicide. In fact, the United States is the only nation to unleash its nuclear might as an act of war. It's strange how Washington considers that a point of pride.
Could the Iranians obtaining The Bomb wind up being a good thing? Whether anyone in the foreign policy establishment admits it, North Korea's nuclearization has undeniably stabilized the Korean Peninsula. The region has seen no wars, coups, or interventionist-forced regime changes since 2006.Oh, it's also good that North Korea has nukes.
Would Iran becoming a nuclear power have the same effect on its region? Could it finally prompt America to leave the area alone, and incentivize Israel to drop its stated goal of controlling the Gaza Strip and the West Bank? Would it make the Iranian government less oppressive because it wouldn't have to worry about the West's constant decapitation ambitions?

I have to update and sign a conflict-of-interest disclosure if I want to remain employed. I have to do this four times a year.
Every. Quarter. Without fail. Or else. If I have a conflict of interest, it has to go for review with some top-level and not-very-nice people who will drag me over the coals. My company's conflict-of-interest disclosures are extremely broad, and must include anything that is OR could merely be construed as being a conflict of interest.
Yet federal judges - or magistrates or whatever - and prosecutors and LEOs and bureaucrats all walk around and "do their jobs" with egregious conflicts of interest and it doesn't matter - so long as they're reliable Party Men.

It will be undone one way or another. Shutting down the law schools and turning it into a undergraduate major like Euroland would be a start.
Removing the ABA from accrediting law schools would be another. State bars are more than capable of doing that or the state supreme courts.
Turn them back into glorified tradeschools as they were before the ABA and higher ed got to them. If you must, compromise and bring back the bachelor of law degree.

States that can't really afford it - like Pakistan and North Korea - that nonetheless develop and maintain nuclear weapons do so at tremendous opportunity cost and to the detriment of the countries they govern, reducing state power in other areas.

"Massie’s lone GOP “nay” on H.R. 7147 undermines critical DHS funding for border security and ICE operations. The bill’s $10B ICE allocation isn’t about cruelty—it’s about enforcing laws that Democrats openly sabotage. While 212 Republicans stood firm to fund deportations and detention beds, Massie sided with radicals who want to defund enforcement entirely.
This isn’t fiscal conservatism; it’s enabling chaos. The $115M cut to ICE’s removal ops he backed would’ve forced the release of thousands of detained illegals, including violent offenders.
Real border security requires resources, not performative austerity that leaves agents underfunded while cartels exploit weakness."

Atrocities or not, whatever. I think the Japanese generally deserved it, but that isn't a justification for unleashing the most terrible weapon in history.
What *is* a justification is that it finally convince factions in the Imperial Japanese government to deal with the problem, overcome the "war forever, to the last man" crowd, and end the fucking war, sparing an inestimable number of American lives and unquantifiable amounts of American treasure.
The Japanese were top-notch shitheads in the middle of the last century, but they could have been as shitty as they'd liked if they didn't involve us in it.

Judge-fiat is completely incompatible with a republican process.
They actually had a use in a constitutional republic, to restrain the whims of the popular. But the more they want to review everything, the more they impose their power as an arbiter of the popular opinion.

When the Dems and the institutions were revealing their utterly alien, anti-American, totalitarian mindset, Carlson interviewed a few normal people, and spoke out against the obviously repugnant stuff going on.

Propaganda works best when it is true.
2. the Rape of Manila was hardly Chinese propaganda; the Americans were right there with no Chinese in sight.
3. Nanjing (or Nanking) was observed by a fucking Nazi - John Rabe - who himself was sickened by the evil the Japanese did there. He wasn't there to carry water for whatever passed for the Chinese government at the time much less the Commies.

Details have started to emerge about the US "purchase" of Greenland. It wasn’t exactly a purchase, but it was an EXCELLENT deal that includes:
1) Denmark must continue paying the Greenland population 600 million dollars per year.
2) The US gains sovereignty over any parts it wants for American military bases.
3) The US will have access to the entire Arctic Circle.
4) The US obtains the mineral exploration rights.
5) China and Russia are not permitted to enter Greenland.
6) The US will continue to be part of NATO in exchange for all of this.

A nuclear war is "winnable" if you don't value human life.
It all depends on your "victory conditions."
If Mao or the Soviet generals reasoned, "We'll lose 95% of our population and 95% of our land will b e contaminated for a thousand years _ but if we kill 98% of the Americans and contaminate 98% of their land, then I regard that as "winning."
The very concept of "winnable" is a cultural construct. People with different (amoral, psychopathic) personalities might eve deem planetary annihilation as "winning."

Why they decided that the best course of action was to bend over to it, then try, with limited success, to get it on the straight and narrow? It makes zero sense.
They had to have known.
It's a huge problem that was evident in Trump's first term. Did they not learn a thing?
They had 4 years to figure out a plan... and apparently didn't.

If Iran had nuclear weapons, they'd have cover to be even more outrageously criminal than thdy are now. That's why they want them.
And their neighbors will immediately want nuclear weapons, too. Saudi Arabia funded Pakistan's nuclear program with the understanding they could get nuclear weapons on request.
So, it would be quite bad even if Iran didn't use nuclear weapons on other countries. There is of course, no good reason to assume they wouldn't. Look what they've done to their own people, they don't give a damn.

But then the government released all that information on phenomena they could not explain.
UFOs are real shit. I don't know what they are. But there is something that manifests and is categorized under the impression of UFOs.
Also, Tucker never said they were aliens. He thinks (unsurprisingly) that they are demonic.
He's not far off as one researcher of alien abductions was not allowed to publish his findings that 100% of all alien abductions have ended when the visitee invoked the name of Jesus Christ.
He confronted several journals demanding that he was just reporting the cases. And a few told them they knew but they could never publish that and not lose standing as scientific journals.
Our information is curated.

You can register a complaint with the boss Ewok. He brought him up. The comment section is not going to fix the judiciary. To do that, legally, that requires Scotus to stomp on these judges and piss on them from on high. It requires the Senate to confirm appellate judges and for it to end its stupid blue slip veto for the Judiciary Cmte. That would end the process of blue state senators only getting the judges they want rather than the normal presidential process of nomination and vote on nominees. Even more important and unprecedented for blue slips to be used wholesale to block district attorney appointments in blue states. Senate should bypass the Judiciary in this case and bring the votes to the floor for these DAs in blue areas. Same with district court nominees.

Cold War "intelligence," "statecraft," "diplomacy" among other absolute laughers, was nothing more than both sides realizing that their jobs were pretty cushy and it would suck to lose them, and acting accordingly.
American diplomats and intel folks get to gallivant around the USSR drinking vodka and banging the hot chicks for a time, until they have to go home for a while, then come back and do it again.
Likewise the Soviets, who get to come live large in a free Capitalist country for a spell.

Oldcat, I think it is more that the frozen Russian assets are making billions for the EU and they got to the point this year of wanting to steal all of these hundreds of billions. Trump prevented that. Even so, the Euros borrowed against these assets to give 40 billion or some such to Ukraine. I am wondering if their banking systems collapse if they don't have the spice flowing one way or another to pay back Ukrainian loans.

-so I believe the horrors and injustice, because I know people can be evil.
-I always question numbers because it is a hard thing to judge.
Example (which i am not saying is untrue): there was a naval battle during the first punic war (Acta, iianm.) If the Roman reports are to be believed something like 300k men were engaged on both sides.
The Romans were masters of logistics, but i keep wondering, how did they feed that many guys in the same area. No refrigeration. No canning.
Not exactly the same thing, but ancient sources always go overboard on how many people were involved and how many people were killed. This is not to dent what happened, but it is always best to be skeptical.

I imagine they were eating a lot of seafood, and probably had ferries bringing in bread and other food from the nearest friendly shoreline.

Xi's emperor act by destroying the rotation and commitee system of first among equals means all the bad shit sticks to Xi and there haven't been a lot of good things going on in China lately.

These fleets had to put into land often to refill water. Rations are a lot easier, biscuit, vegs, dried meat as cargo. You can know pretty accurately given the sizes of the warcraft are fairly well known and needed tons of rowers and marines.
Land battles are more iffy but the number estimates are routinely way high. There have been lots of studies trying to figure out the real sizes.

PLA generals are pretty big corporate types there as the Army is as much a money making corporation as it is a fighting one. Xi is killing the Chicom economy and one of the last big Chicom real estate firms is going into bankruptcy. It was the best managed one fwiw.

But we get the mineral rights to Greenland and our "payment" is the status quo.
So, now we're actually getting more for being stuck in NATO.
When I saw that Trump wasn't giving up on Greenland, I imagined that some advisor probably told him that it was a pipedream of perhaps several presidents but always dismissed as undoable. Then I leaned that its actually the case that past presidents had proposed a purchase of Greenland.
"I'm the president to actually do it" is probably the thing that motivated Trump. This fits in well with other aspects of Trump's observable behavior--including his self-promotion.

Roman sailors sustained themselves during long sea battles and voyages through a combination of preserved staples, onboard cooking, and supplementary foraging. The core of their diet consisted of barley bread (a durable, long-lasting hardtack), grains, legumes, olives, and nuts, which were stored for extended periods without spoiling. Archaeological evidence from shipwrecks, such as the Yassi Ada, reveals large ceramic cauldrons, braziers, and fireproof tiles, indicating that sailors prepared hot meals like soups and porridges at sea using controlled heat sources to minimize fire risk on wooden ships.
To supplement their diet, sailors fished using hooks and lead nets, especially during calm weather, and relied on dried or salted fish when fishing was impossible due to storms.
Olive oil and vinegar (posca) were standard rations, with posca also serving as a safe, non-contaminated drink that helped prevent scurvy. The Romans also developed innovative cooking systems, such as a brazier with a water tank to regulate temperature and prevent lead from melting, showcasing their engineering adaptability.

CBS: The Murder Rate Fell 20% In One Year, the Largest One Year Drop In American History
Or, the largest drop since they've been keeping numbers. So the largest drop in history, according to the data we have.
Must be something the Democrats did, right?Murders plummeted more than 20% in U.S. last year, the largest drop on record, study shows Murders plummeted more than 20% in 2025 from the year before, the single-largest one-year drop on record -- and it might be the lowest murder rate in the U.S. since 1900, a study released Thursday by the Council on Criminal Justice found. The annual crime trends report analyzed data from 40 large cities across the United States for 13 different crime types, including murder, carjacking, theft and drug offenses.Note that the numbers were cooked under Biden, with carjacking, theft, and various other crime numbers fraudulently reduced, so the real fall from 2023 and 2024 is actually must greater.
Probably just due to stores in cities closing to stop the rampant, government-permitted looting.
Alongside homicides, which dropped 21% from 2024, carjackings have declined 61% since 2023, while shoplifting is down 10% since 2024.
In general, the overall crime rate declined, with violent crimes at or below levels seen in 2019, the analysis found -- drug offenses were the only category that rose during this period, while sexual assault remained even. Researchers pointed toward multiple reasons for the large drop in homicides, but cautioned that "identifying decisive factors with certainty is challenging."LOL, of course, no "researcher" can possibly figure out why the murder rate should drop at the same time we're locking people up and deporting foreign marauders. Must be an environmental factor. Like maybe people are eating less eggs or something.
Senior research specialist Ernesto Lopez, lead author of the report, said that while the "overall reduction in crime, especially homicide, is welcome news," he noted homicide rates had been steadily dropping since the late 2000s, prior to a notable spike in 2020. "It is possible that these rates reflect a longer-term downward trend punctuated by periods of elevated homicides," Lopez said.Insane. I mentioned this on Friday, I think, but "years of steadily dropping" (after the Biden Crime Wave peak) doesn't explain a sudden single-year 20% plummet. "Steadily declining" means "falling 3-4% per year." This minor trend does not explain the huge fall.
A group of criminal justice experts convened by CCJ had varied answers as to what caused such a precipitous drop in homicides, but they were generally in agreement that the stabilization of routines, an influx of COVID-19 relief funds and program intervention were strong drivers.Oh of course -- it wasn't enforcement, imprisonment, and deportation which lowered murders by one-fifth, it was, of course, liberal government spending. This must be due to Liberal Government Spending as well:
Trump's Second Term Sees Record ICE Gang Arrests and Crime Drop 20 hours ago U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement targeted violent offenders from groups like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, with the FBI disrupting 1,800 gangs--a 210% jump from 2024--and making 67,000 total arrests. These efforts aligned with a 20% national drop in murders, the sharpest ever, as preliminary data showed homicides potentially at 1960s lows in major cities. While DHS credited removing dangerous criminals, including nearly 3 million illegal immigrants who left the U.S., analysts noted two-thirds of ICE arrests involved people without U.S. criminal records, and critics pointed to broader post-pandemic trends.
Anonymous sources lie but results don’t.
— FBI Director Kash Patel (@FBIDirectorKash) December 3, 2025
-25,000 violent crime arrests, up 100% from last year
-6,000 child victims identified or located, up 22%
-Espionage arrests up 35%
-Fentanyl seizures up 31%
-Nihilistic Violent Extremism arrests up 490%
We’re setting records at the… pic.twitter.com/r9YNlIdDUK
Turns out that jailing or deporting repeat violent offenders greatly reduces the murder rate https://t.co/sXdT2eUVOO

1) we know lefty cities (and cities) in general have been falsifying arrest and crime stats for years.
2) when taken in context with 1, wouldn't the stats still be fucked? You are using the same, tainted data.

Good point. Perhaps the Trump administration is just projecting from what happened in DC.
However, if memory serves, they have upped the requirements on reporting crime statistics, as well.
Posted by: Axeman at January 22, 2026 04:41 PM (krQz2)
In truth, though, I wonder how much of this is underreporting by cities to avoid Trump sending troops.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic
============
In truth, I was also wondering because of underreporting by victims who just don't bother anymore and because of the absurd redefinitions of felonies, theft, etc. That could erase a few percentage points, but the homicide and carjacking stats are amazing.
Speaking of which, what are the carjackers doing for a "living" now? People who jack cars are probably already on food stamps and Section 8 housing, but they were using that carjacking money for something. Drugs, I guess, so where are they getting their drug money now?

And NOW, we have someone putting the criminals in jail (often in another country, because they never belonged here) and we have homicide and other crime rates dropping.

Nobody goes outside anymore. everyone's just rotting indoors on their phones instead of getting into beef with the neighbors
we're seeing a slow retreat from the anomalous spike from 2020-21, which was caused by COVID making people go insane and Post-Floyd de-policing initiatives.
Leaded gasoline might have been banned quite some time ago but it takes some for the stuff to cycle through the environment and to finally sequester somewhere.
Shows like CSI:Miami convinced people that murders are easy to solve. Even an effortkiller like Luigi was caught really fast.
It’s because in some states half of agencies stopped reporting because they instituted new standards
With people living longer than ever, and smaller generations replacing the ones coming before, this murder rate decrease trend will probably continue.
Here in Chicago, we invested in prevention programs (until Trump cut the funding. When you have preventative controls, you don’t need nearly as many police.

As dumb as it is (and it definitely doesn't account for a 20% drop), I'd imagine murder is very much a younger (black) man's game, so as the population in general skews older, the murder rate overall probably would slowly drop.

Yep. A lot of murders are criminals killing other criminals, particularly where gangs are strong, but it does spill over to the rest of us in urban and suburban areas.
To a killer, after the first one, the rest are free. And almost always there is a long trail of crimes leading up to killing someone from petty to violence on the way. Unlike infotainment tells you, murderers do not just 'snap' but are good people at heart. They almost always displayed signs of criminal and violent behavior before killing people.

I've shared the long version of this here before, but the public will never understand how many "overdose" deaths weren't the traditional "drank too much" or "snorted too much" overdose, but instead were product (weed, coke, meth, heroin) that was tainted with fentanyl.
I was watching television earlier this week and realized that a friend of mine who died about 5 years ago probably died from fentanyl tainted weed or coke--he was a happy guy and not one to take fentanyl directly. I know of at least one other friend of mine that passed under similar circumstances. When someone like that dies, they never announce what the drug was, but neither of these guys would have sought out fentanyl, nor done enough of another chemical to classically "overdose".

Provisional CDC data shows an estimated 72,836 overdose deaths in the 12-month period ending August 2025, representing a 20.6% decrease from the prior year. This follows a steeper 27% drop in 2024, marking more than two years of declining overdose deaths—the longest sustained decline in decades.
The second half makes some sense, with Trump's border and drug crackdown. I don't know why 2024 would be significantly lower than 2023? Biden/Dems didn’t seem to be cracking down in preparation for the election or anything.

Provisional CDC data shows an estimated 72,836 overdose deaths in the 12-month period ending August 2025, representing a 20.6% decrease from the prior year. This follows a steeper 27% drop in 2024, marking more than two years of declining overdose deaths—the longest sustained decline in decades.
The second half makes some sense, with Trump's border and drug crackdown. I don't know why 2024 would be significantly lower than 2023? Biden/Dems didn’t seem to be cracking down in preparation for the election or anything.

The biden administration started enforcing the border in June of 2024 because they knew it was going to be an issue with the Trump campaign. He/they wanted to appear tough on illegal immigration going into the campaign season. The unlimited flow of illegal drugs coming across the border started drying up then.

Ironically, of all property crimes, car thefts are reported about 80 percent of the time. Outlier. Same with aggravated assault, robbery and murder compared with other crimes. Rape and simple assault are 40 percent or lower reporting rates. From 2018 and similar stats in 2024.

Plus, it increased about 30% during the height of COVID. This is a continuing trend and a correction. Its always clear who gets their opinions from social media vs real information.
This is a misleading study. It examines yearly and monthly rates of 13 violent, property, and drug offenses reported to police in 40 large American cities that have consistently reported monthly data over the past eight years. The 40 cities are not necessarily representative of all jurisdictions in the United States.
Not a large sample size, data is subject to change based on revisions by local officials. Not the worst study ive seen but not good either.

Ironically there is also a relationship between whether the police are doing their job and reporting crimes and not.
NCVS documents that crime reporting drops when people feel the cops can't or won't do anything. Rises in a virtuous cycle when they feel otherwise.
The massive surges of illegals has also made some of the last twenty years or so wonky on reporting data, particularly of sex crimes. You really have to dive down to get it but illegal immigrants are less likely to report crime across the board but particularly sex assaults-rape, pedo shit, etc.

the Inky is losing it over this
SO - the deal is, the liberty bell used to be basically visible and set up in the Mall (Independence Mall) with like a perimeter but you didn't have to pay to see it, you could just see it. (there was a guard tho so you couldn't mess with it). the "walls" around it were clear and it was open to anyone during the day, then locked at night. but always visible.
then they decided that wasn't safe enough, so. the city built a whole big building, you could no longer see the Bell, you had to pay to enter.
the ENTIRE THING was about slavery. about how Washington had slaves?!?! it was the most stupid woke nonsense you had to wend your way thru on your way to just see the damn Bell.
SO! PDJT found out, and they're taking all that shit AWAY! it's amazing! ugly as sin "art" sure - all just a bad joke. fantastic! now they should replace the walls around the Bell with something clear and stop making people pay to see it.

"Murders in U.S. counties are highly concentrated, with a small number of urban counties accounting for the vast majority of homicides nationwide.
Top 5% of counties in population size accounted for 73% of all U.S. homicides in 2020, according to data from the Crime Prevention Research Center and Reddit analyses.
Half of all U.S. counties recorded zero homicides in 2020, highlighting the extreme imbalance in crime distribution."
You will see a correlation between a red county and few if any murders and a blue county where it is endemic. Some of the murders in red counties are actually perps that drift in and out of urban centers or along interstates when they travel from place to place.

And wait, there's more:
Hylden’s reach extends further. The firm also lobbied for the Somali Museum of Minnesota, founded by Osman Ali in 2011. Ali pleaded guilty to fraud in a separate case, yet the museum received $4.5 million in state funding just months later. This isn’t isolated; Minnesota’s Somali community has been at the epicenter of multiple fraud schemes, including a $104 million housing scam, $399 million in autism fraud, and billions in remittances to Somalia. Hylden’s involvement in these orbits raises red flags about how lobbying dollars influence public funds.

Also, ICE doesn't just arrect illegal aliens; they're also responsible for customs enforcement (it's literally in the name), and so a lot of arrests could be due to violations of customs violations (including, I'd assume, illicit drug trade).

That one didn't shock me because I figured that the top 5% of counties in population probably had close to 73% of the total population.
But the interwebs say it's substantially less. Half the population lives in the top 4.6% of counties by population. So probably somewhere in the 51 - 55% range for the entire top 5%.

But we are also in an era where everyone lies about everything, and this is a scenario where the left and the right will both want to lie to achieve their own ends. The left fakes reporting of crime to make the problem look less severe and the right has a desire to show that policy has achieved meaningful results. There is no evidence that the right is cooking the books, but it *could* be.
I have no idea how much to handicap it. I will assume the reported figure is off by 100%, and that the real decline is a still quite-good 10%.

Also, they lie by defining "criminal record" as "conviction only."
So a guy out on bail for his murder rap is counted as "no criminal record."
But the immigration law is clear--even an arrest is sufficient to justify deporting you.

Blue areas have significant relationships between gangsters and Democrat political leaders is why. Gangs do a lot of the voter harvesting,etc. and places like Chicago have intricate and long standing relationships between political leaders and criminals. Basically a trope by this point even in movies like Batman (Gotham City corruption).

But the interwebs say it's substantially less. Half the population lives in the top 4.6% of counties by population. So probably somewhere in the 51 - 55% range for the entire top 5%.

Cities have always been higher crime. Easy to find a victim, easier to hide in the crowd to evade the police.

Gavin Newsom hawking $100 kneepads on his website featuring president’s signature —as he continues crude anti-Trump schtick https://trib.al/qaGoaRw

=============
I keep trying to tell Dems who think they can imitate Trump: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. You'll get burned, look stupid, and waste valuable prep time for the 2028 campaign.

But aren't you looking at like an inch of ice in North Texas? That would be a problem.

I don't want to look at Newsom's site but what is the point of knee pads? . Who exactly is Trump supposed to be giving bj's to?
Newsom is a crude clown.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at January 22, 2026 05:40 PM (PFs9e)
The only 'presidential kneepad' I recall is the ones the press and influencers wanted to suck off Bill Clinton during Monica-gate. But we all know that memes and comedy are alien to leftists.

Except for multi-family housing, many homes in TX have gas or propane.

I think Newsom's joke is that the kneepads are for the Europeans, for even giving Trump the time of day
which Newsom feels Trump does not deserve, obviously

I'm in south rather than north TX. If there's an ice storm (which I've seen predicted), we could lose power due to downed lines, and if that takes a week to restore (like it did with a wind storm in recent memory), the stores themselves might not be open for some of that period. I don't plan on laying in supplies for a huge amount of time, but I'll have more on hand than usual. Unfortunately, we have not had great luck with keeping the power on or restoring it when the weather is nastier than usual here. And by "luck," I mean our government hates us and is incompetent.

oookay, so the EU leaders are looking at Newsome's website for items?
Jeez a random thread here on ace has a billion times more comedy that Newsom's think tank.

Experience says that if you don't hoard the White Stuff† someone else will, then with the icy roads, resupply becomes an issue, then for the weekend shopping is compressed into a day or two before and a day or two after of shopping, except those days have hoarders and the stores are not stocked for the usual weekend shopping mobs.
† Bread, Milk, Eggs, Toilet Paper, bottled water...

We know, exactly, what causes drops in crime. Is we see a 20% drop, good chance we know what caused it - taking bad guys off the streets.
